Now this week we’re starting a multi-part series celebrating the many Faces in which we see and honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. We’ll explore the different ways we honor her, both in feasts and cultures and devotions across the world. We begin with Dr. Neil Stahurski, a Polish organist who oversees the celebration of Our Lady of Częstochowa in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We then hear from Debbie Brown, a pastoral musician in Fairfax, Virginia, who went on pilgrimage to Knock, Ireland, and Međugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
#103: NPM Celebrates Mothers
This week’s podcast honors the mothers of our association and the love and support they show everyone, especially their children. So many parents bring their children to church with them as they minister, and they also do so at NPM events! Today we feature three mothers who have brought their daughters to NPM events for many years.
#102: Physical Health and the Pastoral Musician (REPLAY)
Today we’re turning back the clock and hearing part of a previous episode of Ministry Monday, called “Physical Health and the Pastoral Musician”. Played in February 2019, former Ministry Monday host Matt Reichert interviewed Dr. Paul Schafer, a doctor from the Minneapolis region. We hope it is a good reminder of the things we can do to take care of our bodies, now and once we’re back in our churches for ministry again.
