Goals

The founding of Saint Cecilia Classical Productions is based primarily on the following three ideas: the fact that there are very few good role models for today's young people, especially for girls and young women; the teaching of our Catholic faith that we are to be a light in the world, and that we are to teach by example; and the realization that a popular entertainment figure has the power to influence millions of people, either for good or not so good.

 Philosophy

Both Scripture and History have shown that when the women of a country are virtuous, the country is strong, but if the moral standards of those women decline, as they have in this country, then the moral standards of men also fall and that society soon begins to sink deeper and deeper into the waters of moral decay.

In times past, most young girls were raised as maidens of virtue and innocence. All aspects of their femininity were cultivated and they emerged from their youthful years as refined young ladies, ladies of modesty, charm and grace, possessing all the necessary skills that would one day allow them to assume the important God given role of wife and mother.

Sadly, this is no longer the case in our present day culture. We have done a complete about-face in our attitudes toward sin and God’s laws. To today’s "liberated woman", the concepts of modesty and feminine loveliness are almost completely foreign. In their attempt to free themselves from their traditional roles, these women have succeeded only in enslaving themselves in a world of moral darkness.

Similarly, on the male side, many men have lost those qualities that, in former times, would have complimented a woman’s femininity. As Mrs. Hammond aptly points out in her book, “By trying to blur the divinely created differences between men and women, our culture has succeeded in destroying the integrity of both”. If there is to be any hope of reversing the current downward spiral in morality, this lost integrity must be restored and this restoration must begin with women. Women must rediscover the grace and beauty of their femininity and realize the importance of the role that God has planned for them from the beginning.

In regards to the family, it is quite obvious that the forces of evil have laid siege to this basic unit of society for many years now. The family is the foundation of society; if you subvert the family, you subvert the country.

On the front lines of this battle are the children and youth of today, for they are the building blocks of tomorrow’s families. But with little, if any, moral guidance in their lives, the majority of these young people are adrift on a sea of doubt and confusion, with little or no idea of where they are going or why they even exist.

In their attempt to find some meaning in life, they idolize many of the music and movie stars of today. They look to them for hope, guidance and answers, but the answers they are getting are not the right ones. It is our goal then, that, through the music we perform and the witness we give, we will be able to guide them to the truths they are searching for.

In conclusion, we would add one final note. The task of reclaiming America for Christ is a formidable one; and yet we are encouraged by our Lord’s words that “in God all things are possible”. We pray, therefore, that, with His help in this endeavor, we will be able to be a source of truth and light for today’s young people, a beacon of hope that can show them the way home to a safe harbor, home to Christ.
