Welcome! You have come to a site offering new music and supportive materials for liturgy and retreats. It is especially appropriate for anyone interested in the spirituality of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Themes from his meditations are woven into the lyrics. If you have difficulty reading music, welcome again! Here you can select a song and listen to it while viewing the musical score. Both congregation and choir version are available.
