Supporting all music ministers as they seek to utilize their art to enhance worship and prayer throughout the Diocese of Grand Rapids

Know the Liturgical Code!

NPM Senior Editor Dr. Gordon E. Truitt has compiled a Liturgical Decoder containing brief but informative material on the many words used in liturgy and liturgical music, beginning with "a cappella" and ending with "worship." Check it out and look up a word or topic that you’ve always wondered about! You can always access this and other helpful material by using the Resources button on the national NPM website.
