Among the many avenues of Christian prayer, music stands out as a powerful medium for nurturing hope in God's faithful people. The Ministry of Music serves as a cherished wellspring of hope, animating those on life's sacred pilgrimage, grounded in the Church's sacraments. We invite you to an evening retreat where music ministers can share their experiences of both offering and receiving hope by sharing their gift of music. This inspiring evening, guided by Fr. David, a degreed pastoral musician, includes dinner, an engaging retreat conference, and a joyful liturgy in our chapel.
The evening includes dinner, presentation and liturgy in the chapel. NPM members attend at a reduced cost. Pastors are welcome at no charge. Music directors attend free with ten or more choir members.
