NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. – For me, it was the last day of the 13th National Black Catholic Congress at the Gaylord Hotel National Resort in National Harbor, Md. As I headed to the hotel garage, I felt like I was leaving a part of myself behind. I wanted more time to sit and speak with folks, to rest after days of walking long corridors and navigating those happily ambling along, ready for the next learning experience.
