Music

Sacred music helps the Church pray and gives voice to the joy of Christian marriage.

An organist and cantor are included in the chapel fee and arranged through Saint James Chapel Music. Additional musicians may be requested for an additional fee.

Music shaped for this sacred space

The organ, choir loft, and resonant Gothic interior support music chosen for Catholic worship and the joyful dignity of the marriage liturgy.
