Enrolment options

Arts and Religion

The seminar will open chapters, but will not be exhaustive. It offers an approach to major liturgical or para-liturgical works and comparatively points to several issues opened to individual reflection and study.

It seeks to integrate all religious and artistic forms whatever it is, and the emphasis will be able to be shifted, according to the interests of the group (and the skills of the teacher or a guest). However, it will be based on the Christian religion and its relationship to music (and therefore to spoken words).

It will be offered to students to attend some events, in small groups, among these tracks as a guide:

-Sunday 9am. Ordinary rite mass according to Vatican II, but in Latin and Gregorian chant. Lauds at 8:30 am during Advent and Lent. Église des Missions étrangères, 128 rue du Bac, 75007 Paris.
