Catholic Military Life

Living out a commitment to marriage while on active duty has its unique rewards and challenges. In order to support married Catholics in the U.S. Military, the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), will hold its first-ever Catholic Marriage Enrichment Retreat in February 2018. AMS Vice Chancellor of Evangelization Dr. Mark Moitoza shares how the AMS hopes to make the retreat a twice-yearly event for Catholic servicemen and women. He also tells about some of the other ways in which the AMS Office of Evangelization is bringing pastoral services to those who serve. And he delves into a topic of immense timely importance to post-deployment warriors: the "bruise of the soul" known as moral injury, a condition in which they struggle with the idea that that they betrayed their own values while defending the cause of freedom.
