Festive Gathering
From the far reaches of the country and beyond, we gather in prayer and song. We celebrate in our midst the presence of the risen Christ in whom we are united by Baptism.
Welcome
Leaders of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the National Association of Pastoral Musicians welcome members and friends to this city rich in Catholic musical tradition. |
Report and Update
The President and Chair of the Board of Directors introduce the NPM leadership and offer brief reports and updates on the work and state of the Association.
Keynote Address: Steven C. Warner
From generation to generation the song of Christ’s story forms a people and gathers them into one Body. Steven C. Warner will help us answer the question: “How do we engage the generations yet to come in this life-giving song?” |

Summerfest Picnic in the Park
5:00-7:00 PM
You won’t need to “sing for your supper” here! Join us for great food, fellowship, music, and games in a parish festival atmosphere. Look for the tents in White River State Park just past the canal, a 5-minute walk or a short shuttle bus ride from the Convention Center. The menu will feature Hoosier fried chicken and fixin’s including brown County-style biscuits and apple butter. Grilled chicken and vegetarian options will also be available as well as a cash bar for beer and wine.
Buses will whisk you away in time for evening events, so plan to join the fun. Reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and win some nice prizes too! Fee: $10 |
