We hope that these brief essays will always challenge NPM members to broaden their thinking, whether or not they agree with the point of view that is expressed. I am delighted to welcome Dr. Eileen Guenther, president of the American Guild of Organists, as the first contributor to our Counterpoint column. Eileen has set before us an important challenge, which I urge you to read and reflect on (see page ten). From the Annual Report This issue of Pastoral Music contains the annual report to members regarding the activities of the Association during President 2009 (see pages five and six). NPM continues to be guided Dear Members, by its mission to foster the art of musical liturgy and to serve the Catholic Church in the United States. Last year the NPM Happy September! By the time you read this message, Council and the NPM Board adopted five strategic goals the new program year will be in full swing. Choirs that took to advance this mission, taking into account such major a summer break will have reassembled with, we all hope, concerns as the needs of Hispanic/Latino Catholics, inclusion some new members. Music directors, pastors, and other of youth and young adults, and preparation for the new leaders now see before them a full year of celebrations, English-language translation of the Roman Missal.
