Welcome to the NPM Section for Pastoral Liturgy

The NPM Section for Pastoral Liturgy is made up of NPM members who are responsible for liturgical leadership in their parish or are involved in the preparation of liturgies.

The role of this section is to:

  • Encourage communication among our members using various venues, e.g., NPM publications, articles, newsletters, the NPM Web Site
  • Provide input for continuing formation programs to NPM at the national and regional level and through NPM institutes in response to the needs of pastoral liturgists
  • Establish and maintain an Internet forum where NPM members can interact with each other regarding the various liturgical issues they may face in their parishes or diocese

The Programs and Events link provides information on upcoming NPM Conventions, Schools, Institutes and special events.

Resources links members with documents, topical articles and organizations relevant to pastoral liturgy.

Our Did you know link offers bits of information, sometimes topical, sometimes historical, that can be used to inspire thought and reflection.

We encourage you as colleagues in pastoral liturgy to share your experiences, questions, and knowledge with each other by joining our E-mail Forum using the link on this page.

The NPM Committee for Pastoral Liturgy is ready to assist our members by sharing their own experience and knowledge. The Contact Us link provides contact information for committee members.

Over the past 40 years, since the promulgation of The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, the term “pastoral liturgy” and its praxis has become synonymous with the vision of “full, conscious, and active participation in liturgical celebrations” envisioned by the Second Vatican Council. As members and colleagues of NPM we are part of the great legacy begun 40 years ago that through our sharing of experience, faith and knowledge we may continue be instruments of renewal.

Since we are a work in progress, we certainly welcome the thoughts and ideas of our members to help make this site more informative and useful.

In Christ, Bruce Croteau, Chair
NPM Committee for Pastoral Liturgy
