Build your parish music library

Start with a carefully selected foundation of traditional Catholic sacred music—then build your parish library from there.

Our Sacred Music Library includes a large collection of hymnals, Gregorian chant, choral music, organ music, and other resources for Catholic worship.

The books below have been selected from that larger library as a strong starting point for parishes. They provide a practical foundation for congregational singing, choirs, scholas, and organists while giving you room to expand your collection as your parish music program grows.

Start With the Essentials

We have chosen these resources to help a parish establish a useful core music library without having to sort through the entire collection first.

Begin here. Download what your parish needs. Then explore the larger Sacred Music Library as your choir, congregation, and music program grow.

Our full library includes six hymnals, along with collections of chant, choral music, organ music, accompaniments, and other sacred music resources.

Pay What You Want Downloads

When a book is marked Pay What You Wanton our site, you may enter $0.00 at checkout if that option is available. This is convenient, giving you the opportunity to try out the music and see if you will find it useful to order as printed books. You have permission to use it freely, there is no limit.

Your parish already has voices, musicians, and people who want to contribute to reverent worship. What is often missing is affordable, accessible music.
The Sacred Music Library helps remove that barrier by making selected printable resources available at little or no cost. (PWYW)
