We want to discover, catalog, promote and celebrate great Catholic music and musicians.
+he Catholic Music Awards are dedicated to celebrating music ministries, apostolates and catholic artists including musicians, music directors, film producers, broadcasters, publishers, bloggers, teachers and others who promote Catholic Music.
When people think of Catholic Music they likely think of classical works or sacred or liturgical compositions. However the Catholic Music space extends far beyond the walls of the parish and includes an evolving variety of artists, media and apostolates that distribute and publish incredible content. In the spirit of Saint John Paul II’s new evangelism, the Catholic Music Awards seeks to identify, discover, catalog and promote the Catholic music space.
