Fourteen church musicians from our Diocese recently attended the 41st Annual Convention of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians in Baltimore, Maryland.  The theme of the convention was “Praise, Grow, and Serve,” and thousands of liturgical musicians from all over the country as well as abroad participated in the event. The gathering featured keynote presentations by the Most Reverend Frank J. Caggiano, Sr. Joyce Ann Zimmerman, ValLimar Jansen, Robert Feduccia, and Rev. Mr. Thom Winninger, as well as institutes for musical and pastoral ministry, workshops by prominent liturgical composers, concerts and exhibits.
