Mission Statement
The St. Louis Chapter and Duchesne Branch of National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM) is a membership organization primarily composed of musicians, musician-liturgists, clergy, and other leaders of prayer devoted to serving the life and mission of the Church through fostering the art of musical liturgy in Catholic worshiping communities in the Greater St. Louis Area.

What is NPM St. Louis?
The National Association of Pastoral Musicians St. Louis (NPM - St. Louis) is an organization for anyone who recognizes and supports the value of musical liturgy.

We are choir directors, organists, guitarists, pianists, instrumentalists of all kinds, presiders, cantors, and pastoral liturgists. We are members of contemporary ensembles, handbell choirs, and choral groups of all kinds.

Some of our members are young people in high school and college, and some are veteran directors of music ministries. We represent parishes large and small as well as seminaries, schools, religious communities, cathedral churches and diocesan offices.

Many of our members belong to special interest sections for various musical ministries, for clergy and for pastoral liturgists. Some of our members are not actively involved in a particular musical or liturgical ministry, but want to show their support for the important work of NPM.
