National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM)

The members of NPM serve the Catholic Church in the United States as musicians, clergy, liturgists, and other leaders of prayer. Pastoral musicians who are full-time, part-time, or volunteer music directors, choir members, cantors, and instrumentalists can view the website and attend conferences and training to develop their knowledge of liturgy and music.
