DMMD Events

In order to assist DMMD members as well as other members of the association the DMMD Education Committee recommends certain convention sessions as being of special interest to anyone who has the primary responsibility for music in a parish, diocese, or other church institution.  Sessions receive this "recommended" designation through DMMD participation in the planning process and in consultation with Rev. Paul Colloton, OP.  Following are the "DMMD Recommends" sessions for the 2010 National Convention in Detroit, MI, July 12 - 16.
