A Time of Retreat, Renewal, & Leadership

What a beautiful and meaningful few days for the National Association of Catholic Chaplains! We recently gathered at the El Retiro Jesuit Retreat Center in Los Altos, California, for our NACC retreat centered on the theme of 𝘛𝘶 𝘌𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘌𝘭 𝘖𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘠𝘰, “You are my other me.”

Led by Jean Molesky-Poz, the retreat offered opportunities for prayer, reflection, conversation, and renewal in the beautiful peace of the retreat center. Most Reverend Oscar Cantú joined the presentation, celebrated the Eucharist, and blessed our two award recipients: Emergent Leader Award honoree Jasmine Gómez and Distinguished Service Award recipient Hugo Gonzalez.

We concluded our time together with a successful two-day, in-person NACC Board of Directors meeting, focusing on strengthening our organization and advancing our mission of supporting Catholic chaplains and pastoral care professionals.

𝘛𝘶 𝘌𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘌𝘭 𝘖𝘵𝘳𝘰 𝘠𝘰. We are stronger together!

Every day, chaplains, mission leaders, and clergy accompany people through some of life's most difficult moments. They sit with patients facing serious illness, support families making complex medical decisions, and help navigate ethical questions that often have no easy answers, yet many ministers have never had the opportunity to study them in a structured and practical way.

That's why the NACC Ministry Institute developed Ministering with Integrity: An Introduction to the 𝘌𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘊𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴. This self-paced, online course explores the history, principles, and practical application of the Ethical and Religious Directives through engaging presentations, real-world case studies, and guided reflection.
