  • We Need Better Music for Mass!

    Why are we putting so much emphasis on sacred music at St. Mark? Check out the video linked below for an intro to the importance of fitting and proper music to the celebration of Mass.

    Takeaway quote:

    “The Church needs to reclaim a sense of patronage for good art and music made by faithful Catholics who appreciate the subject matter that they are trying to communicate.”
