About

Ministry Monday is the podcast for today's parish minister. Weekly episodes provide opportunities for anyone engaged in pastoral ministry to learn, engage, grow, and be renewed. Content includes interviews with featured guests alongside a treasure-trove of articles, presentations, plenum addresses, workshops, and recordings from NACCM publications, conventions, and events.

Ministry Monday is a service of the National Association of Catholic Church Musicians (NACCM), formerly the National Association of Pastoral Musicians (NPM).

Meet your host

Amanda Bruce is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania native who was raised on an organ bench. Her mother, a pastoral musician herself, taught Amanda how to play the organ at a young age and encouraged her to begin playing her Catholic school's weekly Mass at the age of ten. Amanda serves as substitute/interim organist and cantor in her local diocese.

Amanda began attending NACCM events as a children's choir member for a liturgy at the 1999 National Convention in Pittsburgh. Her participation with the association has not stopped since. She attended numerous conventions, both as a participant (2003-present) and as a presenter (2017-2018).

In addition to being the host of "Ministry Monday", Amanda now serves the NACCM National Office as the Senior Associate Director of Marketing and Communications.
