Convention Schedule

Leadership Retreat – I Trust in You: Mary and Martha, Mercy and Ministry R-01Monday, July 10, 9:00 am–noon ▪ Leader: Lorraine Hess Music ministers feed the spirit of worshiping communities but also need to be fed! Set aside some time for a morning of prayer, song, and reflection before the rest of the convention begins. Lorraine Hess, a singer, songwriter, and music minister born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, offers a unique look through the lens of the Gospel stories of Mary and Martha, breaking open the relationship between mercy and surrender. Sometimes, when we feel we have lost all control, we look to God for mercy, yet we struggle with trust and surrender just as these women in Scripture did (Luke 10, John 11). The abil-ity to surrender to God is not something we simply achieve, once and for all, but a daily struggle to practice. Learn ways to practice this trust and this surrender in your ministry and your personal life. Space is limited. Pre-registration required, Fee $30. Limited on-site registration (if available): Fee $50.

Young Adult Retreat – Living Liturgically: Eight Ways to Become Stewards of the Mysteries in a Search-Engine World R-02Monday, July 10, 9:00 am–noon ▪ Leader: Diana Macalintal Young Adults, Ages 22-30. People are pulled in a thousand directions; information and misinformation flow in through a dozen conduits every minute. More than ever, it seems, William Butler Yeats’s cry rings true: “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;/Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.” Where do we find a still center in this busy world, a place where things come together and we can make sense of an often frantic life? We open hearts to Christ through the mysteries we celebrate. All who prepare the liturgy and teach from it need to be stewards of these mysteries who see life through a deep religious imagination. Through prayer, song, ritual, and story, we’ll explore eight disciplines for expanding your symbolic vision so you can engage the disengaged at Sunday Mass, attract the uninterested to our best-kept secrets, and rekindle your own appreciation for the Mysteries of God.Space is limited. Pre-registration required: Fee $30. Limited on-site registration (if available): Fee $50.

Schedule at a Glance


Piano Accompaniment Master Class – Empowering Musical Prayer through Strong and Effective Accompanying MC-03Monday, July 10, 9:00 am–noon ▪ Clinician: Kate Cuddy Look at introductions, dynamics, sense of line, and tempo in both verses and refrains, even look at how to play “bravely” off the page (being led by chord charts or lead sheets). Play through some examples of compromise and sound musical judgment while discussing differences in styles. Explore differences in accompaniments, as dictated by whether we are the sole instrument or playing with other instruments.

Time permitting, attendees may play one selection for the group and receive coaching from the clinician. Please bring a copy of the score for the clinician. No audition required.


Choir Director Clinic – Discover the Musicianship Within! MC-04Monday, July 10, 9:00 am–noon ▪ Clinician: Rob Glover The rehearsal goal of most church choir directors is note security. The more you sing through an anthem, supposedly, the better it gets, but the truth is that simply singing through anthems numerous times does not necessarily improve accuracy or quality. How could we take our volunteer choirs beyond this survival mentality into higher-level aesthetics? Church anthems could mean so much more to both choirs and congregations if we aimed higher with our expectations. Church choir members are intelligent, and they can delve much deeper into aesthetics than we typically ask of them. What procedures could directors take to help raise these expectations and results?

Gathering and Convention Opening 3:00 pmBlessing and Ringing of the NPM Bell

Blessing of New NPM PresidentPlenum Eucharist with Keynote HomilyMsgr. Richard HilgartnerOne of the first documents of the liturgical renewal affirmed: “Liturgical worship is given a more noble form when it is celebrated in song, with the ministers of each degree fulfilling their ministry and the people participating in it. Indeed, through this form, prayer is expressed in a more attractive way, the mystery of the liturgy, with its hierarchical and community nature, is more openly shown, the unity of hearts is more profoundly achieved by the union of voices, minds are more easily raised to heavenly things by the beauty of the sacred rites, and the whole celebra-tion more clearly prefigures that heavenly liturgy which is enacted in the holy city of Jerusalem” (Musicam sacram, 5). This vision is where our gathering begins in our opening Mass.

Tuesday Afternoon-Evening

Plenum: Uniting the Body of Christ 4:30 pmKElly adamson

Praying and singing together unifies the Body of Christ. There is great value in praying and singing together outside the celebration of the Eucharist. The Liturgy of the Hours and devotions provide opportunities for the community to pray together through the Church’s rich tradition of prayer. How might we offer fuller support to these prayer forms in our parish communities?

Plenum: Union of Voices, Unity of Hearts tony alonso 9:00 am

What we sing is who we are. How do our musical choices unite the Body of Christ in the midst of our diversity? How does music bring together people who come from different places and experiences into one Church? Yet how do we assure a unified Liturgy as we choose from the breadth of musical possibility? What does it matter if the melody is different when the words and the faith are the same?Tony Alonso, a Cuban-American Roman Catholic, is a composer and theologian whose work responds to the diverse needs of the contemporary Church. He is currently a doc-toral candidate in religion at Emory University.

* The Hovda Lecture Series focuses on topics in a more academic as well as pastoral way. The series is offered in honor of Rev. Robert W. Hovda, a leader in liturgical renewal and a strong voice for truth, beauty, and compassion in church and society
