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. |
