Chaplaincy Candidates Recruitment Project

The USA military chaplaincy serves as the military’s spiritual willingness, makes available emotional, moral, and spiritual support to soldiers and their families. They support all faiths and honor the distinct doctrines of their faith while respecting other denominations.

The Primate and Presiding Bishop and the USA Provincials of the West and South of the Apostolic Episcopal Church [Holy Eastern Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Church], are launching the USA Military Chaplaincy Candidates Recruitment Project for ordained priests.
