This month we offer our readers the rare opportunity to see the hidden corners of our mission. Music is one of the greatest pastoral challenges in the modern church, and The Vigil Project is daily pouring into the Church’s need for equipped musician-leaders at parishes, colleges, and beyond. And to do that, we need your help…

What is the role of music in the home? This month we begin to share a vision for music for the domestic Church. While we often think of Catholic music as “Sunday Mass”, generations before us understood that music flows throughout the life of devotion. From the sacred liturgy, Christ’s song of love flows to every moment of our daily lives, from the office to the dinner table, and everywhere in between.

What is it about the return to Ordinary Time that causes us to pause and reflect? After the heights of Christmas, we find ourselves in the valley of invitation where we experience Jesus’s call to give our lives to Him. In this month’s digital edition of Vigil Magazine, we linger in these precious moments of early Ordinary Time. Hear from our team about our recent tour (pictured above), pray with music curated for this short season, and hear Saint Francis of Assisi’s astounding wisdom for Catholic musicians and creatives.

In this December edition of Vigil Magazine, we explore “heartsight” through the story of Lilias Trotter, announce our new pastoral cohort, and announce the International Catholic Musician Summit this June 2025 in Italy.

In this November edition of Vigil Magazine, we announce our newest album – Way of the Star – and preview two new courses on CatholicMusician.org.

In this September edition of Vigil Magazine, we share about the VIGIL STUDIO, launch a course on Wonder with Bill Donaghy, and meet the many musical saints of the church.

In this August edition of Vigil Magazine, we reflect on the National Eucharistic Congress and linger in the four seasonal Marian antiphons.

In this July edition of Vigil Magazine, we journey to the National Eucharistic Congress, and launch a new platform for Catholic musicians.

In this June edition of Vigil Magazine, we hear the story of St. Lutgarde – a commonly overlooked mystic who encountered Christ in this very scenario that became one of the earliest-known devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

What is praise? This month we explore how music has a special charism of praise. Plus, opportunities for musicians to rest this summer, and new offerings from The Vigil Project in 2024.

This month we dive into the topic of making music at home. What is the role of a father in the household, and how does he instill a culture rooted in song?
