Military Archbishop Criticizes Cancellation of Religious Support Contracts
The Archdiocese for the Military Services announced that the Army has cancelled all religious support contracts for Army chapels.
According to Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, this cancellation includes contracts for religious educators, administrators, and musicians.
This has placed on Catholics "an insurmountable restriction on the free exercise of religion."
- Contract services and contractor offices were closed starting Sunday, October 5, 2025.
- Music was absent during Mass due to the cancellation of contracts.
The archbishop expressed his concerns in a letter to members of the military archdiocese, which will also be sent to all members of Congress.
