OCP offers a suite of online platforms designed to support every stage of worship music—from publishing and licensing to preparation and song selection. Each website plays a unique role within this ecosystem, giving worship leaders, parish musicians, and music ministers access to the tools and resources they rely on most. Below is a simple overview of how OCP Music Publishing, OCP Worship, and the OCP Worship Digital Music Library differ, and how they work together to serve Church communities.
OCP Music Publishing serves as the foundation and creative hub of OCP’s work. It is the primary platform where composers and songwriters connect with OCP and where music rights, publishing information, and licensing are managed.
On this site, you’ll find:
- A partial catalog of OCP-published worship music
- Composer and songwriter profiles
- Licensing information and request portals for print, performance, livestream, projection, and more found on our FAQs
Because OCP is a major publisher of both Catholic liturgical and contemporary worship music, OCP Music Publishing ensures that music use remains legal, organized, and properly credited. This makes it an essential resource for parishes, liturgy coordinators, music directors, and institutions needing licensing or seeking more information about the creators behind the music they use.
In short, OCP Music Publishing is about ownership, rights, and the source of creative content.
Next OCP Worship Digital Music Library (DML) is OCP’s subscription-based digital library—a convenient, all-in-one resource for worship teams looking for flexible, ready-to-use musical materials.
With an annual subscription, users gain access to a growing library of 300+ songs, including:
- Accompaniment tracks
- Guitar and keyboard arrangements
- Multi-part harmonies
- Easy-to-read chord sheets
- Downloadable instrumental parts
Whether preparing for Sunday Mass, a retreat, or a small-group gathering, musicians can quickly find the arrangements they need. The DML is ideal for music ministers, choir directors, worship groups, and parishes seeking a practical and affordable way to prepare music efficiently.
Simply put, OCP Worship DML is about access, usability, and giving worship leaders the tools they need to bring music to life.
Finally, OCP Worship features a wide-ranging catalog of worship music—spanning contemporary praise, traditional hymns, seasonal selections, and beloved classics.
Key features include:
- “Popular,” “New,” and “Seasonal” browsing categories
- Song previews and samples

This site showcases both well-established and emerging composers, making it easy for worship leaders and individuals alike to find fresh, faith-filled music that resonates with their community.
Together, these three platforms create a complete ecosystem for worship music, from the moment a song is written and published, to the tools that help bring that music to life, to the final step of discovering and selecting the right piece for your needs. By understanding the role of each site, worship leaders and musicians can streamline preparation, stay legally covered, and enrich their communities with meaningful, faith-filled music.
