A New Sacred Music Institute • with Free Tuition!

Jeff Ostrowski · October 14, 2020

E RECEIVE MILLIONS of unique visitors on the internet. That may not sound impressive, but please remember that we are dedicated to authentic Sacred music. (We would receive more ‘clicks’ if we allowed libel, character assassination, and gossip, but we’re against those.) It is within the power of our readers—without lifting a finger or spending a dime—to instantly create a brand new SACRED MUSIC INSTITUTE, including a gorgeous brick building, fabulous rehearsal rooms, pristine instruments, a concert hall, a student chapel, an outstanding faculty, and even an endowment…which would have free tuition for all who attend.

If only everyone knew how easy this is!

It’s literally FREE MONEY, and it requires seconds to accomplish:

If all who visit our website followed that video, we could instantaneously build a gigantic SACRED MUSIC INSTITUTE and change the world! What’s more, we could offer free tuition, because Amazon Smile would be paying the bills. If only I could do a better job of making people aware of this!

I personally generated $90.89 for Watershed last year—and otherwise that money would have gone to waste!

Please do this—otherwise
your money is going to waste!

Quick Thoughts

Can You Spare 33 Seconds?

Here’s an audio excerpt (33 seconds) of a setting for Kyrie VIII which was recorded live last Sunday at our parish in Los Angeles. The setting (“Missa de Angelis”) is by composer Richard Rice, and you can download the free PDF if you click here and scroll to the bottom. I think Richard’s composition is marvelous. I missed a few notes on the organ, but I’ll get them right next time.

5 April 2021 • When Girls Sing

Covid restrictions here in California are still extremely severe—switching “two weeks to flatten the curve” into “two years to flatten the curve.” Since 2020, we’ve had police breaking into our church to check if everyone is wearing a mask…even when only 5-6 people are present! But we were allowed to have a small percentage of our singers back on Easter Sunday, and here is their live recording of the ancient Catholic hymn for Eastertide: Ad Cenam Agni Providi. The girls were so very excited to sing again—you can hear it in their voices!

29 March 2021 • FEEDBACK

“E.S.” in North Dakota writes: “I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for all the hard work you have put—and continue to put—into your wonderful website. In the past two years, my parish has moved from a little house basement into a brand new church and gone from a few families receiving Low Masses twice a month to several families (and many individuals) receiving Mass every Sunday, two Saturdays a month, and every Holy Day. Our priest has been incorporating more and more High Masses and various ceremonies into our lives, which has made my job as a huge newbie choir master very trying and complicated. CCWatershed has been an invaluable resource in helping me get on my feet and know what to do!!! Thank you more than I can express! May God bless you abundantly and assist you in your work and daily lives!”

Random Quote

“At the hour for the Divine Office, | as soon as the signal is heard, | let them abandon whatever they may have in hand | and hasten with the greatest speed, | yet with seriousness, so that there is no excuse for levity. | Let nothing be preferred to the sacred liturgy.”

— Rule of St. Benedict (Chapter 43)
