Benedict XVI Institute for Sacred Music and Divine Worship

The Benedict XVI Institute for Sacred Music and Divine Worship is a new initiative which will be based at St Patrick's University and Seminary in Menlo Park, California in the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Archbishop Cordileone is founding the Institute at the Seminary and has brought in Fr Samuel Weber OSB, a renowned Chant expert, to help set it up. It was Fr Weber who set up the Institute of Sacred Music in St. Louis in 2008 at the direction of Cardinal Burke. The Institute's website is here and you can sign up to be kept informed. Regina Magazine has more information and will shortly be publishing interviews with some of the key people involved.
