Well, I want to thank everyone for listening to the last 3 weeks in our Exsultet mini-series. It has been very well-received, and it was equally a treat to produce the episodes. It’s clear to us at NPM that there is a definite desire to learn more about the liturgical prayers and nuances that we experience in our faith today. Stay tuned for more episodes focusing on music, ministry and, of course, liturgy.
During the month of March NPM celebrates the women that shape us and love us into being. Those who fight against the injustices of our society today. Women in religious life who are our spiritual guides. And those among us who lead and serve the Church in lay ministry. We are honored to celebrate you! And today we offer a replay episode that celebrates some of the strong women in our Church’s history. We hope this episode inspires you, and maybe prompts you to learn more about these holy women- and more.
