Where Catholic Faith
and Duty Unite

Serving those who Serve

Archbishop Broglio cordially invites the faithful of the Archdiocese to the inaugural Catholic Military Conference November 9 – 11, 2026, at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, VA.

Vocations

The vocation of a military chaplain is a unique calling. He offers spiritual solace and guidance to soldiers, providing prayers and comfort in the midst of battle. He embodies the fusion of faith and valor, bringing God’s blessings to those who defend and protect.

Evangelization

The mobile life brings new meaning to the call “to go out and make disciples of all nations.” Personal and communal prayer, through the celebration of sacraments, calls for a baptismal consciousness focused upon holiness, mission, and service.

Ways to Give

There are numerous ways to support the mission of the AMS and those entrusted to her care. You can make an immediate donation by check or online using a credit card. You can also explore other options, such as giving through a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), an IRA charitable distribution, corporate matching gifts to double your donation or an annuity that can be used to help build a guaranteed income stream or retirement nest egg. Regardless of how or what you decide to give, rest assured that it will contribute towards ensuring that the spiritual needs of service members are taken care of.

Resources

October Prayer Intention

Suicide Prevention

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Find resources to help families and communities understand suicide, pray for those affected by it, and take action to prevent it.
