17 Wing Chaplain Services

What is the RCChs?

The Royal Canadian Chaplain Service (RCChS) contributes to the operational effectiveness of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) by supporting the moral and spiritual well-being of military personnel and their families in all aspects of their lives, during conflict and peacetime. Our motto is "VOCATIO AD SERVITIUM" which means "Called to Serve".

What does a Chaplain do?

A chaplain attends to the spiritual needs of people through conducting religious services, counseling, encouraging individuals in understanding themselves, interpreting theological/ moral issues and ethical questions, educating others in such areas as ethics, anger management, suicide prevention etc., and visiting the sick within the pluralistic environment of the CAF, military chaplains are extremely sensitive to the need to help CAF personnel and their families explore spiritual issues without imposing religious doctrine and practice.
