A Letter from the NCVACC President
Dear NCVACC Members and VA Catholic Chaplain Brothers!

I wish to extend a very warm welcome to all of you who are sharing your priesthood as you minister to our veterans throughout the VA System. The NCVACC (The National Conference of VA Catholic Chaplains) is the wonderful organization that brings us together, and serves as a vital resource of support and fraternity.

The 2012 Annual NCVACC conference is planned November 12-16, 2012. The theme for the conference will be “Spiritual Injuries that Lead to Homelessness Among Our Veterans.” The location for the Conference will be at The University of Saint Mary of the Lake Conference Center in Mundelein, Illinois. It is a wonderful and popular facility, so when we were offered the opportunity to use the facility we jumped at the chance. One great benefit to this location is that ALL of the rooms have private bathrooms. As the year progresses, you will be receiving more information regarding the conference. As many of you may be aware, our VA budgets are being impacted recently, and I wish to suggest you begin planning accordingly in order to be able to attend the conference. Many of us make great sacrifices to attend this conference, and I want to thank you for making this a priority in the past.

Membership in the NCVACC provides the financial support which is critical to our success as an organization. Included in this letter is the Annual Dues/Membership Application. It may be beneficial for you to know that not only is your membership a means of recognizing your contribution to the status of professional clinical chaplaincy, but help support our being able to provide our Annual Conference. This is our opportunity to support one another through our annual dues. Please send the NCVACC dues to Joseph Westfall by May 1, 2012. Membership dues are necessary in order to maintain your Certification in NCVACC.

Ramon Saavedra is working tirelessly to update our NCVACC website, which now has a new address: www.ncvacc.net . Please visit the site and set up your member profile in order to gain access to the “members only” section. More developments will be coming to this website, providing opportunities for professional Clinical Chaplaincy growth and development.

Thank you for your innovative ideas and commitment to NCVACC!
