A blessed Feast of the Dedication of the Basilica of St. John Lateran! "You are God's building. According to the grace of God given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building upon it. But each one must be careful how he builds upon it, for no one can lay a foundation other than the one that is there, namely, Jesus Christ." (1 Corinthians 9c-11) Sing with us @...

This immortal chant of the Church (which dates back to the 7th or 8th centuries) is an invitation to love one another as Christ has loved us, and is best known for its important place in the Holy Thursday liturgy as the appointed hymn for the Preparation of the Gifts. Made more beautiful by the harmonies made by Maurice Durufle, it serves as a poignant reminder of the presence of God wherever t...

This setting of the Gloria, penned by no other than Mr. Ryan Cayabyab himself, comes from his Blessed Trinity Mass and is a rather straightforward but no less jubilant setting of this venerable hymn of the Church. In the face of so many graces and blessings which have been poured out on us in abundance, we indeed give God all praise and glory.

This setting of Psalm 95, written by Marius Villaroman, with its response from Psalm 122, comes from the liturgy for the Memorial of Blessed Timothy Giaccardo, the first priest of the Society of St. Paul. Psalm 95 is a joyful invitation to praise the Lord "for He made us and we belong to Him". This setting is a meditative invitation to enter into the presence of the Lord and to proclaim peace t...

As we begin the month of October, dedicated to the devotion to Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, may we return to seeking our Blessed Mother's intercession through the devout meditation on the mysteries of the life of Jesus and Mary. SAnKTUM sings La Naval de Manila's traditional Ynvocacion, with Shanne as our soloist.

The Responsorial Psalm for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time (B), this setting by Marius Villaroman beautifully expresses how wonderful and how good it is for us to rejoice in the many ways the Lord has been merciful to us. Only a grateful and joyful heart can easily recognize the many gifts given to it but only a humble heart can be able to dwell in the Heart of the Giver of all good Gifts. Sun...

In the face of God's graciousness and mercy for 24 years of SAnKTUM's existence, we cannot but burst out in grateful praise: Glory to God in the highest! Luwalhati sa Diyos sa kaitaasan! Sung September 8, 2024, Thanksgiving Mass marking SAnKTUM's 24th anniversary.

One of the psalms that directly talk about singing to the Lord is Psalm 92: "It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praise to your name, Most High" (v. 2). What is noticeable here is not just the invitation to sing to God but how good it is to praise God in song. Why is singing praise good - for us, especially, as music ministers? Ultimately, it does us good; nothing we could ever sing ...

This song, composed by @nattdublin from @HangadMusic's album "This Time With You" is a love song - a kundiman through and through - of a person lovesick with God. This encounter with the God who is love Himself is the driving force behind our personal and communal spiritualities and is the fundamentum and cornerstone of our service as music ministers. St. Augustine would quip that "to sing is f...

This classic setting of Psalm 40 by Rene San Andres is an invitation to come to God as we are, warts and all, and to allow God to send us forth to serve one another in whatever capacity we can and in whatever circumstance we may find ourselves in. It is a simple prayer, telling God that we are at His command and that we are ready to be sent wherever He may have need of us - simply because we ha...

We take great pride in our group's name, SAnKTUM. It symbolizes not only the sacredness of the music we aim to create during every liturgical celebration but, more importantly, it represents God Himself. God serves as our sanctuary, a safe space where we can always be open and vulnerable, and a haven in times of trouble. In this often chaotic world, God is our sanctum, our enduring source of pe...

From the mass setting and album "Isang Himig", the song is a meditative piece for the Preparation of the Gifts. Composed by @NatthanDublinand @BeeBuyogzzz (Elliot Eustacio), the song is balances both beauty of poetic form while conveying the depths of what we believe: that it is by the power of God's grace and our human cooperation that Jesus is made present in the Eucharist: Body, Blood, Soul,...

This poignant song, penned by Robert Sterling and Chris Machen, wonderfully reechoes the zeal and deep desire of Joshua (24:15) to serve the Lord, no matter what the cost. It is this deep desire to serve as a response to a personal encounter with the God who loves us so deeply and so intimately that resonates with us as well. As we approach our 24th anniversary, this is the same grace that we c...

This rousing hymn of praise, taken from the Canticle of the Three Young Men in Daniel 3, is an exuberant invitation for all of creation to praise the Lord, its Maker and Redeemer. Written by no less than Fr. Eduardo Hontiveros, SJ, it exudes a "pastorela" feel, deepening only that sense of joy in the Lord that cannot be contained in the heart. God be praised!
