Welcome music lovers and Catholic art enthusiasts! The Ramón Pané Foundation, in collaboration with the Vatican Dicastery for Communication, is thrilled to unveil the much-anticipated Catholic Music Awards. This groundbreaking initiative was first proposed by Cardinal Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga during World Youth Day in Lisbon and is set to breathe new life into Catholic music while honoring the talent and creativity of Catholic Christian artists from around the globe.
A Global Celebration
Mark your calendars for the press conference happening on September 27 at 4:00 p.m. at the Vatican Film Library (Palazzo San Carlo), where Cardinal Rodríguez Maradiaga will officially kick off the awards. The registration platform will be launched at www.catholicmusicawards.world.
Joining Cardinal Oscar Rodríguez Maradiaga at the event will be distinguished personalities from the Dicastery for Communications, various Dicasteries, as well as Brother Ricardo Grzona, the executive director of the Ramón Pané Foundation.
More than just a competition, the Catholic Music Awards are a joyous celebration.
The Catholic Music Awards transcend mere competition; they are a celebration of the richness of Catholic music in all its forms. The announcement of the winners is scheduled for July 29, 2025, as part of the Festival and Jubilee of Influencers taking place in Rome.
