(#1) Your site is a Godsend. It must continue. I am a church mouse but I can afford $5 a month. Let’s help keep the beautiful music ringing through our sanctuaries. (#2) In honor of my Godson, who just turned 5 yrs old. May he and his brothers grow up singing in my Youth Schola and learning to play pipe organ at our Parish where I am Director of Music Ministries. (#3) Thank you! This is a beautiful resource that I sing with every morning, with my kids, on your YouTube channel. (#4) Thank you CCWatershed team for all you have done to keep Catholic sacred music alive in this ever changing world. You help us provide liturgical beauty in our ordinary form parishes. I can only pray, that before the end of the year, all of us will be back in church singing glorious sacred music. Pax Christi. (#5) Thank you for all your efforts! I have learned so much from you sharing your gifts and love of sacred music.

21 July 2020 • From a Musicology PhD…

To you and your colleagues who helped produce the Brébeuf hymnal, I wanted to drop a line to say “bravo.” I just got a copy and immediately ordered the choral supplement (I ought to have just gotten it in the first place). What an achievement this book is! This is the sort of hymnal one could use for decades without exhausting its contents and the possibilities it offers. And that hymn I asked you about (Southwell/Allen) was QUELLA; what a beautiful melody (and text)! —P.B.

Wonderful emails received recently…

(#1) “Thank you for all the great work you do to provide music and rehearsal videos for all of us to use! It has been invaluable to those music and choir directors who’ve had to build a Gregorian chant schola from scratch! May God continue to bless all you do to promote sacred music for the Mass and for the glory of God!”

(#2) “I am a newly ordained priest. When I was in seminary we constantly used stuff from you guys to help us learn things. Thank you!”

(#3) “Thank you CCWATERSHED for all you do and provide for restoring Sacred Music in the Church today. God bless your ministry.”

(#4) “Thank you for bringing beautiful Sacred Music to all of us!”
