Over 285 Catholic military chaplains provide pastoral care to over 1.5 Million Catholics on ships, in combat, on bases and in VA hospitals. This special collection helps to fund their Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program, which identifies vocations within the military and provides an education for men for the priesthood and subsequent military chaplaincy. The Archdiocese of Military Services, USA Special Collection is only taken up every third year. The next one will not be until 2025.
