Cardinal Robert Sarah, member of multiple dicasteries and pontifical councils and Cardinal-priest of St. Giovanni Bosco in via Tuscolana, will visit the Diocese of Trenton this month for several events open to the public.

On Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. the Aquinas Institute – Princeton University’s Catholic campus ministry – will host an event in the university chapel featuring Cardinal Sarah upon the release of his upcoming book, “The Song of the Lamb: Sacred Music and Heavenly Liturgy” (November 2025, Ignatius Press). The event will include conversation with Peter Carter, followed by a book signing.

Cardinal Sarah will celebrate 4:30 p.m. Mass Nov. 23 in the university chapel. After Mass, Cardinal Sarah will lead Princeton students and community members in a Eucharistic procession throughout campus for the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.

The events are co-sponsored by The Aquinas Institute and the Catholic Sacred Music Project. Registration is required for the book signing at princetoncatholic.org/lecture/lecture-sacred-music-and-the-heavenly-liturgy/.

Peter Carter is the founder and director of the Catholic Sacred Music Project and director of sacred music at the Aquinas Institute. The CSMP was founded in 2021 to provide spiritual and musical formation for Catholic musicians to bring about a widespread renewal of sacred music in the Church. 

Cardinal Sarah is the former Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and author of numerous books including “The Power of Silence: Against the Dictatorship of Noise,” “God or Nothing: A Conversation on Faith,” and “The Day is Now Far Spent.” Born in Guinea to Christian convert parents, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1969, and earned a licentiate in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and a licentiate in Scripture at the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum in Jerusalem.
