Vince Ambrosetti

Secular Franciscan - Professed in 1971

On October 4, 1977, Vince founded International Liturgy Publications, the oldest free-standing non-profit publisher of sacred music for the Catholic church. He was named Catholic Artist of the Year in December 2001, and has been honored with seven other Unity awards for his music. Vince sang his song "Sanctuary" during Communion at Mother Teresa’s funeral in Calcutta, India.

He has composed, recorded and, by invitation of the Vatican, performed for Pope John Paul II, the first English Mass Setting ever sung at St. Peter Basilica in Rome. His music has been placed in the Vatican archives alongside the works of Vivaldi, Puccini, Verdi and Corelli. Vince's music is published by
ILP Music.


Quantcast Vince completed his studies in Systematic Theology at the University of Notre Dame, South Bend, Indana. He was nominated for three Grammy Awards.
