Today we’re stepping inside a truly monumental moment in modern Church history.

When a beatification takes place, the music doesn't just accompany the liturgies—it gives voice to the joy and devotion of the entire faithful. The recent beatification of Blessed Fulton Sheen is no exception. Joining us today is long-time NPM member Monty Bennett, who served as the assistant organist for the beatification liturgy. Monty shares what it was like to support such an historic celebration, how the musical team selected and rehearsed the repertoire, and the unique pastoral responsibility that comes with playing for an altar crowded with history and grace. Not only that, we get to hear the special story about the organ used for the Beatification liturgies, and where it is now.
