Before we begin, we want to hear some feedback from you, our listeners. This summer Ministry Monday will be focusing on parish mergers and its impact on music ministry. We want to know: are you working at a parish that has recently merged? Or are you about to merge with another parish? Is your diocese undergoing a consolidation?

What were some of the things that best unified your parishes' music programs? Or what advice would you wish you had when you were consolidating a music program?

Email us with your response at [email protected]. As we prepare episodes on this topic, we want to hear from you!

For the next two weeks, Ministry Monday replays two of its most popular episodes, both of which focus on making the most out of the public domain. With music-buying budgets being squeezed tighter than ever, it’s time to get creative! Making the public domain work for you can be a huge asset as you spend the summer planning for fall repertoire.
