Wednesday is Ministry Resource Day!
Looking for new music or catechetical resources to assist your community? Come to the NPM National Convention on Wednesday, July 25, for a full day of opportunities to discover music, books, recordings, furnishings, art, gifts, travel services, and other resources to support your ministry.
  • Eleven Showcase Sessions for you to hear, sing, and experience music and other resources for your community.
  • Exhibits All Day, beginning at 10:00 am and closing at 6:00 pm, then reopening from 10:00 pm to 12:00 midnight, so you can search for and examine
    music, books, furnishings, vestments, and other helps for your ministry.

Begin the day by singing Morning Prayer and listening to an inspiring address by Rev. Msgr. Kevin Irwin. Take time out in the evening for one of two exquisite musical events: an organ concert with Hector Olivera or a concert of contemporary music with Steve Angrisano and Curtis Stephan. Then return to the Exhibit Hall to conclude the day.

Morning Prayer
8:15 am

"May our tongue's first act be to praise you; so may we discharge our promises to you" (St. Ambrose).

Plenum Address 9:00 - 10:00 AM
Disciples Becoming Church: It's Not about Me, It's about We

Rev. Msgr. Kevin Irwin 9:00–10:00 am

The old adage states that "the Church makes the Eucharist and the Eucharist makes the Church." What does this mean for those in liturgical leadership? What vision of Church does the liturgy proclaim? Is there room for diversity in the unity that we express and deepen by celebrating the Eucharist? The ultimate question is: How can we be Church today? Sponsored by Peter's Way Tours.
