Sacred music is not merely an adornment of the liturgy — it is a bridge between the visible and the invisible, the temporal and the eternal. As the Church in the United States experiences a quiet, yet undeniable, musical and liturgical renewal, many communities stand at the threshold between what is familiar and what has sustained saints and sinners alike for centuries. Inspired by Pope Leo XIV’s luminous reflection on polyphony, this conference explores how sacred music is a path to prayer, a bridge of beauty and faith that leads the mind, heart and soul more deeply into the mystery of divine worship.
