Welcome to the website of Seinn. An new initiative to promote liturgical music in second-level schools. The aim of the programme is to provide RE departments with a resource of liturgical music for use at various school celebrations and by extension it teaches and promotes good liturgical music which will be of benefit to parishes.  The programme is directed by Ian Callanan, one of Ireland’s leading composers of liturgical music.

The Seinn music project was launched in 2013 as a joint initiative of the Diocese of Killaloe and Limerick to promote liturgical music in second-level schools in the two dioceses. In 2017 The Seinn Project started in the diocese of Cashel & Emly. In 2020 it began in the diocese of Ardagh & Clonmacnoise.

The aim of the programme is to provide RE departments with a resource of liturgical music for use at various school celebrations and by extension it teaches and promotes good liturgical music which will be of benefit to parishes. 

A further step in making the connection between school and parish will also be encouraged. This could involve parishes organising some events in which local schools will actively be encouraged to come together in a parish church (with the local music groups) for a liturgy which would involve the music of the Seinn programme.
