An ecumenical community
For Catholic musicians and singers in Sydney looking for an ecumenical arts community.
You're welcome here
The Catholic tradition at AChA
The Catholic tradition gave the Church Gregorian chant, the Mass settings of Palestrina, Mozart and Fauré, and a theology of beauty that runs from Augustine to the present day. At Australian Christian Arts, Catholic members help carry that inheritance into a shared, ecumenical life.
What you bring
Catholic members bring a profound sense of sacred beauty, the discipline of the liturgical tradition, and centuries of the richest sacred repertoire ever written. You don't leave your tradition at the door — you bring it.
We don't ask you to leave your tradition at the door — we ask you to bring it. AChA unites 20+ denominations under the Nicene Creed, and stays alongside your local church rather than replacing it.
Questions from Catholic musicians
Can I be a faithful Catholic and be part of AChA?
Yes. We ask members to be rooted in their own church and tradition. AChA doesn't replace your parish — it's an arts community alongside it.
Do you sing Mass settings and chant?
Yes — the Catholic repertoire is part of our shared musical life, alongside music from other traditions.
