Chant Camp is part of the Catholic Institute of Sacred Music, which was founded in 2022. The Institute’s mission is to draw souls to Jesus Christ through the beauty of sacred music and the liturgy. The Institute’s coursework and public outreach are designed to help church musicians and clergy better know and love the Church’s treasury of sacred music and her teachings on sacred music, and to equip students with theological, philosophical, and historical knowledge, as well as practical skills in singing, playing, conducting, composing, organizing, and fundraising for sacred music programs in parishes and schools. The Institute’s accreditor, WSCUC, has given final approval to its 36-credit, summers-based Master of Sacred Music degree program and its two 20-credit Post-Baccalaureate Certificates in Gregorian Chant and Sacred Choral Music. The public outreach of the Institute includes online and in-person workshops and events for musicians of all skill levels and for Catholics interested in learning more about the Church’s sacred music. Chant Camp is led by Dr. Jennifer Donelson-Nowicka, who holds the William P. Mahrt Chair in Sacred Music and serves as Director of the Catholic Institute of Sacred Music.
