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 NPM publications, conventions, and events.

Ministry Monday is a service of 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 is now an assistant organist at St. Paul Cathedral Parish in Pittsburgh.

Amanda began attending NPM events as a children's choir member for a liturgy at the 1999 NPM Convention in Pittsburgh. Her participation with NPM 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 NPM National Office as the Director of Marketing and Communications.
