#112: How Firm a Foundation (with Dr. Elaine Rendler) (REPLAY)

WOW! As I record this episode, we’ve just finished the 2020 Virtual Convention and it was such a great experience.

If you attended, we hope you had as good of a time as we did. In fact, we hope you had an even better time, interacting with others- including speakers and exhibitors- and enjoying live and pre-recorded content.

Now, this is just a reminder that the Virtual Convention platform is available for Full Convention Registrants until September 15. If you originally registered as a Limited Convention registration, which gave you access to the platform from July 7-10, you can upgrade your existing registration! Go to the convention slider on the home page and select “upgrade my existing registration”. For just $100 more, you have access to the hundreds of hours of content for over 2 more months.

Did you not attend the Virtual Convention but now have second thoughts after hearing the experiences of other attendees? We're pleased to announce that we will be re-opening Virtual Convention registration Monday, July 20!

The NPM National Office will be closed for rest and re-grouping the week of July 13 but will be accepting new registrations on Monday, July 20 for those who want to experience the Virtual Convention who hadn't registered previously.

 

Email npmreg@npm.org for more information. Your email will be answered on Monday, July 20.

 

For the next 2 weeks, we in Ministry Monday will be taking a brief hiatus from new episodes. But don’t worry! We’ve combed through our archives and have found some great Ministry Monday episodes for you to listen to. 

Here at Ministry Monday we still have NPM conventions on the brain. Our next episode from the archives comes from Dr. Elaine Rendler. Originally rat the twenty-fifth NPM national convention in 2001, Dr. Rendler’s talk breaks open the rite of gathering and the liturgy of the word. This episode was originally hosted by Matt Reichert following the National Convention in Baltimore in 2018, and we’re glad to bring you this throwback episode today.

#111: How Liturgy Transforms (with Msgr. Ray East) (REPLAY)

Our next episode from the archives comes from Msgr Ray East, and is a fan favorite of the podcast. Originally hosted by Matt Reichert, former host of Ministry Monday, we’re glad to bring you this throwback episode today. Please note that this is an archived recording from a previous NPM Convention, and for this reason, the audio quality has some bumps along the way. But Msgr. Ray’s message more than makes up for it, and we hope you’ll enjoy.

#110: Maintaining Unity in Good Times and In Bad (with Bishop Mark Seitz) (REPLAY)

For the next four weeks, we in Ministry Monday will be taking a brief hiatus from new episodes, as we will be participating in the 2020 Virtual Convention. But don’t worry! We’ve combed through our archives and have found some great Ministry Monday episodes for you to listen to.

Our first episode from the archives comes from Bishop Mark Seitz. Bishop Seitz is the bishop of El Paso, Texas, as well as NPM’s episcopal moderator. This episode originally aired on February 11, 2019. For this reason, Bishop Seitz discusses the still-raw wounds from the crisis facing the Catholic Church in light of the sex abuse scandals which rocked our country in August 2018. However, in a way, his discussion of maintaining unity in good times and bad still resonates today. Originally hosted by Matt Reichert, former host of Ministry Monday, we’re glad to bring you this throwback episode today.
