Special Events

The conference will be an opportunity to recognize the dedication, wisdom, and growth that has shaped the NACC and continues to guide us forward.  We look forward to being together and celebrating 60 years of NACC.

Along with the educational components of the conference, we are pleased to share several special offerings we have planned.

Conference Opening/Welcome

As we begin our conference on Friday, May 16, we will share in the powerful connections that bind us together in this shared mission. Through storytelling and reflection, we will strengthen the bonds that unite us and inspire the next generation of leaders in this ministry.

Interactive Art Piece

Attendees will be invited to create an interactive art piece which will serve as a dynamic representation of the NACC community. This piece will visually demonstrate how each individual, from past to present, plays a crucial role in shaping the journey. The finished art piece will be presented during the Celebration Banquet.

NACC Visions for the Future

Join us after lunch on Saturday, May 17, for an engaging session facilitated by the Board of Directors, where they will share exciting plans for the future of NACC. Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute, participate in meaningful discussions, and connect with fellow members. This interactive session is a chance to help shape the future of NACC together!

Celebration of the Eucharist and Missioning of Newly Certified

On Sunday afternoon, conference participants will travel by bus, personal vehicle, or foot to St. Louis Roman Catholic Church to attend Mass and the Missioning of newly certified members. Mass will conclude with a blessing for the NACC, its members, and the shared mission.

Celebration Banquet

Sunday evening, May 18, come celebrate with us as we honor our newly certified members, present the 2025 Annual Awards, and mark our 60th anniversary! Enjoy a night of recognition, camaraderie, and festivity, followed by live music. We can't wait to celebrate this special occasion with you!
