Dear NACPA Members and Friends:
I am thrilled to announce that Father Lawrence J. Sullivan, Archdiocesan Director of Catholic Cemeteries, Archdiocese of Chicago has been appointed as the new auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Father Larry is a longtime NACPA Member and is currently serving on the NACPA Board of Directors. This is a momentous occasion for both Father Larry and NACPA community.
Bishop Edward Weisenburger, episcopal moderator for NACPA, concelebrated the Farmworkers’ Early Morning Mass with Bishop Enrique Sanchez Martinez of Mexicali on December 5 in San Luis, Yuma County, Arizona. Bishop Weisenburger, bishop of Tucson, thanked the congregation for their labors and underscored that diocesan leaders stand in solidarity with farm workers.
Dr. Regina Haney, executive director of the National Association of Church Personnel Directors (NACPA) recently met with Cardinal Christophe Pierre, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States (left) and Rev. Thomas Gaunt, S.J., executive director, Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at the Vatican Embassy in Washington, D.C. The occasion celebrated CARA's 60 Years of Advancing the Church's Mission.
The CARA gathering also provided an opportunity for Dr. Haney to network in NACPA’s behalf with several bishops in attendance, including Bishop W. Shawn McKnight of the Diocese of Jefferson City. Bishop McKnight took the opportunity to express to Dr. Haney his continued appreciation for all of NACPA's services.

The National Association of Church Personnel Administrators joins millions of faith-filled people across the world in mourning the passing of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on December 31.
The funeral Mass will be held in Rome on Thursday, January 5. Prayers from that liturgy include:
Dear NACPA Members and Supporters,
