The events of the past three years have changed us. They have asked so much, and we have responded with our best. But there is weariness—and NACC is a community of care. This year’s conference is not a conference in the traditional sense, rather, it will be a time of retreat, of remembering the treasure: the treasure of this ministry, the treasure of our faith, the treasure we are to the Church.
Gather with old friends and new in Mundelein, Illinois, June 1 – June 3
for a time of rest, of laughter, of joy, and healing. Come Rest, Remember the Treasure.
CPMC welcomes Norman Goldston of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Hartford (Connecticut), who will share about a program that supports fathers. The Fatherhood Program provides resources to help fathers gain awareness of the important role they play in their children’s overall social, emotional, mental, physical, and developmental well-being.
NACC Members, please join the Executive Director and the Board of Directors in a conversation and Q&A regarding the organizational vitality of the National Association of Catholic Chaplains. The purpose of this gathering is to learn more about the structure of NACC and dialogue together about future initiatives and hopes for our organization.
Please join us for the NACC/CPE-Educator Community of Practice Call.
Topic: Deacon Jack Conrad and Erica Cohen Moore present the new CAC requirements and offer clarifications on certification for deacons.
It is natural for patients to question the nature of God in the context of trauma and grief: “Why would God let this happen to me?” “Where is God when I am suffering?” “What kind of a God would allow these tragedies? Responding to these questions effectively not only requires understanding where the patient is coming from religiously and spiritually, but also on you as the Chaplain or caretaker. How does your religious formation, spirituality and personal experience inform your responses to someone’s whose background may be very different than your own? How might your response add to or alleviate the pain of the patient and their family members?

We are delighted to be able to present this beautiful, important film on the big screen, followed by a conversation with the producer Kellen Quinn, and one of the film's main participants, David (a chaplains himself) in person.
