Ralph Holtzhauser, Diocesan Music Director, is extremely pleased to announce that Youngstown is officially a temporary chapter of the National Association of Parish Musicians (NPM) as of June 1st, 2024.
The chapter is looking for people who might be interested in leadership positions. The point of NPM in this diocese is to foster collaboration and spiritual renewal, as well as addressing musical needs.
