MASS OF ST. JUDE - I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD

When the homily concludes on a Sunday morning, the church rises to profess the core of our faith. Jude Nnam’s setting of the Creed from his "Mass of St. Jude" captures the weight and majesty of this moment. Rather than rushing through the long text, this arrangement gives the words a steady, deliberate forward motion. It allows the choir to declare each mystery—from the creation of the world to the incarnation, and finally to the resurrection of the dead—with absolute conviction and clarity.

Singing the Creed is always a unifying experience for a parish, anchoring us in the shared truths of the Catholic faith. In this setting, the English translation of the Nicene Creed is carried by a strong, accessible melody that naturally supports the rhythm of the spoken phrases. It is a wonderful choice for solemnities, feast days, and regular Sunday Masses alike, helping the congregation to truly pray the words they are singing as they look forward to the life of the world to come.
