Military Archbishop Speaks Out
The Archdiocese for the Military Services announced that the Army has cancelled all religious support contracts for Army chapels.
- Contracts included those for religious educators, administrators, and musicians.
- This decision affects Catholics, restricting their free exercise of religion.
For those who attend Mass, visit chapel offices, or participate in faith formation on a U.S. Army installation, you likely noticed, that beginning on Sunday, 5 October 2025, contract services and contractor offices were dark and music was absent during Mass.
Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio expressed concerns in a letter to members of the military archdiocese, which will also be sent to all members of Congress.
