About the Cathedral Music Program
The Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, the mother church for the
Roman
Catholic Archdiocese of Newark, strives to be a model and beacon of
worship,
fellowship, and service, with the celebration of the Sacred Mysteries
central to
its identity. The parish community of the Cathedral Basilica is devoted
to
service within and beyond itself, as it strives to deepen its own
commitment to
the Lord and to announce the Good News of salvation in Christ.
The mission of the Cathedral Music ministry is to lead and uplift the
community in sung prayer by way of embracing of the assembly's call
to full,
conscious, and active participation. While affirming and celebrating
the unique
diversity of our community, the program acknowledges the Church's
rich heritage of
music, and strives to complement it with the vast resources of music
from the
current day.
