On Tuesday, May 22, 2012 the NACC National Conference closed with our final Celebration of the Eucharist. Our celebrant was NACC Board Member and Episcopal Liaison Archbishop Paul Coakley, STL, DD, Archbishop of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. At this Liturgy, we moved quite literally from a time of mourning to a time of dancing. After Archbishop Coakley's homily, the names of the members of the NACC who had passed away in the last year and were honored with a candle and flower. It was very moving for our attendees and symbolized how fragile our lives are. We concluded our celebration with the song "I Danced in the Morning" by Sydney Carter and said goodbye to our friends and colleagues. Deacon Thomas Berna, BCC is pictured with Archbishop Coakley. The candles and flowers honoring our deceased friends are also pictured in this photo.
