Join us for the 50th anniversary of the National Association of Pastoral Musicians in 2026! This year’s theme, “Forever We Will Sing,” takes its inspiration from Psalm 89. NPM’s work to foster the art of musical liturgy has shaped Catholic worship since the Second Vatican Council — and our work is not done yet.

Plenum Addresses – Breakouts
Networking Opportunities – Community
Special Events – National Awards – Exhibits
..and much more.
