What We Do
Individual Members...
become a local missionary disciple who is part of a global Catholic community that supports your faith journey wherever the military leads you, enriching the military culture with Catholic values and unity, and transforming into a more active participant in the Catholic life by:
Committing themselves to daily prayer for the Church, the Pope, the United States and its leaders, and the U.S. Military and its chains of command.
Uniting the unique sufferings of military life with Christ in charity and penance through regular Mass attendance and reception of the Holy Eucharist, as well as participation in the Sacraments.
Showing the utmost reverence for the Mass, recognizing that in it, our Lord’s body, blood, soul, and divinity becomes truly present in the Holy Eucharist.
Striving for unity within the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church despite any legitimate differences in opinion or personal preferences that may exist.
Supporting by prayer, action, and all means of the faith, the intentions of the Pope, and his successors, as the Supreme Pontiff and Vicar of Jesus Christ.
Being charitable to all non-Catholics, especially to our Protestant brothers and sisters who share faith in Christ and work to spread the Gospel.
Striving to visibly live their faith as they carry out their military duties, setting the example of a faithful Catholic and bringing others closer to Christ through their example.
