National Assoc. of Pastoral Musicians 

Dan Gallagher, host of Our Faith, Our Diocese, recently sat down with David Baloga, Scranton NPM Program Director, to discuss upcoming events for the 2019.

Are your cantors or choir members in need of training on the basics of the ministry? Could your lectors or extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion use a "refresher" course or a day of reflection? Board Members of the Scranton Chapter of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians are here to help and are willing to travel to provide a workshop or session for your parish ministers.  Some potential topics include:

• Choir Basics: Making the Most of Out of What You’ve Got
• The Body of Christ: Our Identity and Purpose
• Reading vs. Proclaiming: The Role of the Lector
• Fostering Sung Prayer: Synchronizing the Organist, Cantor, Choir and Assembly
• Not Just a Pretty Voice: The Cantor as a Leader of Prayer

Please contact David Baloga at 570-207-2213, ext. 1158 or at David-Baloga@dioceseofscranton.org to discuss how we can help address your parish’s needs.
