In November, to rave reviews, NPM launched our new Planning Calendar, in conjunction with LiturgyHelp. Te updated
npm.org website went live in early 2021, allowing us to better serve our members and all pastoral musicians.
Stuck in our home offices, we took full advantage of the time for virtual formation. Our Women’s Retreat had 40 attendees, and a record 104 people took part in our DMMD retreat. Our chant institute, presented by our friends at St. Meinrad School of Teology, had 44 participants. More than 50 attendees took part in the Organ Crawl and Holy Land Tour, experiencing the beauty of these Kentucky gems from their own living rooms. Our annual St. Cecilia prayer resource was well received and the celebration of St. Cecilia’s feast day, presented by Br. Mickey McGrath, was a wonderful gathering of music and musicians.
Skill Builders, our three-day regionally based skills- intensive program, will debut in Reno, Nevada, July

PM’s programming rose to the challenges and opportunities brought by 2020, hosting our first virtual Convention
7-9. And we are delighted to embrace a hybrid model for our 2021 Convention, Christ: Broken, Shared, Sent, which will provide the best of all worlds to our members. We hope you’ll join us either in person or virtually July 27-30 as we draw on the rich Catholic heritage of New Orleans, Louisiana.
NPM remains committed to diverse programming for all pastoral musicians, programming that represents the cultures, musical styles, and perspectives of all those who work to foster the art of musical liturgy in our communities and churches.
