FAITH. SERVICE. COMMUNITY.
FAITH. SERVICE. COMMUNITY.
We are a lay apostolate of Catholic service members, veterans, families, and civilian supporters. Our motto is “Pro Mater Ecclesia et Patria,” For Mother Church and Country.
Our mission is to promote Catholic culture within the ranks of the U.S. military and support Catholic service members in the sanctification of military life.
Our vision is to act as a visible sign of the Church within our places of duty and build vibrant and holy Catholic lay communities nationwide. We support the United States Archdiocese for the Military Services by promoting the sacramental life, praying and learning together, and assisting AMS clergy and missionaries however possible.
