Mission Statement
The Roman Catholic Military Ordinariate of Canada serves military personnel and their families through spiritual care, sacramental ministry, and pastoral support. Its mission is to foster a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ, inspire vocational integrity among chaplains, and provide ministry according to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. The Ordinariate emphasizes living out faith with compassion, integrity, and a commitment to service, seeking to exemplify the Church’s maternal care for those in military service.

Geographic Focus
The Ordinariate operates from Ottawa, Ontario, but its reach extends to all Canadian military installations, both in Canada and wherever Canadian Armed Forces members are deployed worldwide. Its structure is unique, as it is not tied to a single geographic area but follows military personnel and their families wherever they serve, ensuring pastoral care is available across the globe.

Program Highlights
The Ordinariate provides comprehensive spiritual, liturgical, and pastoral services to members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families. Key programs include celebrating the sacraments (such as Mass, reconciliation, and marriage), ongoing spiritual and moral counselling, religious formation, and maintaining sacramental records for military families. The Ordinariate also supports chaplains through training and resources, collaborates with the Canadian Armed Forces on ethical and spiritual matters, and ensures ministry presence during deployments, relocations, and challenging circumstances faced by military members.
