Today we hear from Sister Sandra DeMasi, a Sister of Saint Joseph serving as a pastoral associate for liturgy at Saint Rose of Lima Parish in Short Hills, New Jersey. Today Sister Sandy shares a 10-minute excerpt of her 2020 Convention Mega Breakout session, titled, “Christians are Made, Not Born!”
#100: 100 Episodes of Music, Ministry and Liturgy
When I planned for this week’s episode, I thought of you. You, our thousands of listeners who tune into the podcast as you’re folding worship aids this week, or assembling binders of choral music for the weeks ahead. Or maybe you listen as you walk your dog in the morning, or listen as you battle traffic ! In whichever context you listen, we’re grateful for you. You are what makes this podcast keep moving.
And so today, I want to interview members of our listenership who are pastoral musicians, living out their calling in music, ministry and liturgy.
#099: Looking Back at the Beginning (REPLAY)
Today is our 99th episode! We can barely believe it. As we prepare to bring you our 100th episode next week, we thought it would be fitting to look back at the beginning. Our first episode was on February 18, 2018, and was hosted by Matt Reichert. The title of the episode was “Charting a Course for NPM” and featured NPM President Steve Petrunak and Fr. Karl Pung.
The episode shows a lot of growth in how far we’ve come, as an association, in the last 2 years. And the article by Fr. Karl Pung is an interesting reflection of the expectations music ministers and pastors have on each other.
