NPM is an organization for anyone who recognizes and supports the value of musical liturgy. It is comprised of choir directors, organists, guitarists, pianists, instrumentalists of all kinds, priests, cantors, and pastoral liturgists. It is made up of members of contemporary ensembles, handbell choirs, and choral groups. Some are young people in high school and college, while some are veteran directors of music ministries. NPM fosters the art of musical liturgy. The members of NPM serve the Catholic Church in the United States as musicians, clergy, liturgists, and other leaders of prayer.

The Metuchen Chapter of NPM hosts numerous events throughout the year, helping local church musicians to grow in faith and skills. The Chapter was named “Chapter of the Year” in 2016.
