Father Robert Pasley, rector of Mater Ecclesiae Mission in Berlin, has been elected president of the Church Music Association of America.
Founded in 1874, the association brings together Catholic musicians and others who have a special interest in music and liturgy, and are active in advancing Gregorian chant, Renaissance polyphony, and other forms of sacred music, including new composition, for liturgical use.
As an officer of the association’s Board of Directors – vice president and chaplain – over the years, Father Pasley “has been a leader and source of encouragement to all of us in our work to promote sacred music through his input on the planning of all our events, the management of all our liturgies, and his sharing of his experience with us through breakouts, talks at our events, and online spiritual reflections,” the association wrote in a statement announcing the news.
“We are so grateful he was willing to accept this new leadership role.”
Father Pasley will continue to serve as the association’s chaplain.
