The Catholic Military Association of Our Lady of Victories (CMA) in its modest but vital way responds to a very real and pressing need: the spiritual care of Catholics in uniform and often serving on the front line.
This is no small task. Catholics have long served in disproportionately high numbers across the services – an enduring reality since the late 18th century – in conflicts as far and wide-reaching across time and space as the Napoleonic Wars to Afghanistan and ongoing operations in Iraq, and from the South Atlantic to the Arctic Convoys.
