#225: A Lifetime of Ministry (with Beth Shaver and Daniel Ladner)

This episode of Ministry Monday is sponsored by Simply Liturgical Music. Responsorial Psalms are meant to be sung, yet daily Mass resources are scarce. That’s why Simply Liturgical Music has worked hard to create a comprehensive catalog of daily and ritual psalms for your worshiping community, including the full 2-Year cycle of weekday psalms. You can try your first psalm for free!

I’m happy to be back after a brief summer hiatus from Ministry Monday. It was great to meet many of you at the convention, both in person and virtually!

And now we’re back. Today on Ministry Monday we speak to Daniel Ladner and Beth Shaver, two pastoral musicians, NPM members, and father and daughter. While both have served in music ministry for decades, Daniel himself has served in music ministry for 72 years- at the same church! Today we get the chance to hear both Beth and Dan’s stories in music ministry, and the impact NPM has had in their lives.

SHOW NOTES

Beth Shaver and Daniel Ladner are NPM members and pastoral musicians. Daniel was the Director of Music at The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, which is now in a cluster of 10 churches (The Parish of the Precious Blood). He will retire from his position as Director of Music at the end of September. We thank Daniel for his 72 years in music ministry!

Beth Shaver is Daniel’s daughter as well as the Director of Music and Liturgy at Saint Mary’s Church in Blacksburg, Virginia. Prior to being the Director of Music there, she assisted at military bases for decades. We also thank Beth for her service, both to our country and in music ministry!
