New Military Chaplain Scholarship Program Announced

The Knights of Columbus has estab-lished a new scholarship program to help fund the education of seminari-ans preparing to become Catholic chaplains in the U.S. armed forces.

The program will distribute $1 million in scholarship money to the Archdio-cese for the Military Services, USA, over a period of five years at a rate of $200,000 per year. These funds, in turn, will help produce a new gen-eration of much-needed Catholic chaplains to minister to U.S. military personnel and their families.

Fundraising for the Orderwide project will be led by the Fourth Degree, the patriotic degree of the Knights.

The idea for the scholarship developed during Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson’s recent visit to the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower.

While watching flight-qualifier tests with an assistant secretary of the U.S. Navy, the su-preme knight had the opportunity to think about Catholics in uniform and the hardship they face of having to go weeks – and sometimes months – without being able to attend Mass or receive spiritual guidance from a priest.

It can be very difficult for Catholic members of the armed forces when they’re on forward deployments,” Anderson said.

“The U.S. military archdiocese, which supplies Catholic chaplains, estimates that it needs 800 priests to fully serve all of the Catholic men and women in uniform today, but they are only able to supply 280 – barely a third of the number needed.”

Brother Knights, Lumen Christi! Each Easter Season the Church joyful-ly proclaims that the “Light of Christ” has come! We, as the church’s Knights are called upon to realize that there is a new beginning and that we are invited to be a part of it. In a very special manner, as Knights of Co-lumbus and thus members of the largest lay body in the Church, we are asked to “Be His Light!”, as we participate in the New Evangelization and stand ready to repel the unprecedented assault on our faith by our government. We must begin that Evangelization within ourselves dedicating ourselves to express Christ’s light to the world in everything we say and do. Each of us must be an example of Catholicity in every possible situation, particularly in the home. We must set the example for our families and especially for our chil-dren. We must also display the mark of Columbianism in the workplace, the commu-nity and in our parishes. People should realize we are different --- for we are! We are sworn Knights of Our Lady and defenders of the Church our Bishops and Priests! We don’t belong to a club but to an Order founded by a Catholic priest, the Venera-ble Father Michael J. McGivney. We say the Rosary often, if not daily. We hold Char-ity to be our basic principle and act in unity to insure others are cared for and that our Nation and its values are held high. A new fraternal year begins today. We have many new leaders in our Councils at all levels. They are poised to move us forward in a fashion which will make all of us ac-tive participants in growing the Order, bringing its message to all qualified Catholic men and their families, and at the same time supporting the New Evangelization un-derscored by the Holy Father and our Bishops. They also will continue to actively support the call of our Bishops to insure we do not permit to be taken from us, the in-alienable right given us by God to practice the Catholic faith. I ask each of you to “Be His Light!” and join with me in this most dangerous of times to stand with your Brothers, sustain the virtue of this nation, practice the New Evan-gelization and Defend our Faith! Nothing is more important to our children, our fami-lies and our Nation! Fraternally, Tom Harger

The military chaplain scholarship aims to provide a solution to this problem. According to Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, the schol-arship money will be dedicated to the archdiocese’s “Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program,” which was initiated to recruit priestly vocations for the military for the benefit of the armed forces as well as participating dioceses and religious orders throughout the country.

Through this program, the military archdiocese contracts with each participating diocese to fund 50 percent of the cost of a seminarian’s five-year education – typically $12,500 per year. In return, the candidate agrees that, following ordination and three years of service at a parish, he will commit to serve as a military chaplain under the auspices of the military archdiocese for a minimum of three to five years.

So far, the Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program has seen impressive results. Since its in-ception, the initiative has garnered an increase in cosponsored seminarians, from seven in 2008 to 30 in 2010.

These results, while extraordinary, place a large financial burden on the archdiocese, which annually generates only enough funds – 95 percent from donations – to cover its op-erating costs,” said Archbishop Broglio, who joined the Order in 2007 while serving as the apostolic nuncio of the Dominican Republic. “The archdiocese has no funds on hand to meet the long-term contractual commitments of the Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program, especially if, as it is hoped, the numbers continue to grow.”

Through this new scholarship, the Order, too, hopes to ensure the future development of the Co-Sponsored Seminarian Program.

Thanks to the generosity of the Knights of Columbus, this military chaplain scholarship will help fill this need for years to come,” Broglio added. “The Knights of Columbus, over many years, has been most generous in providing much-needed financial support to this archdio-cese.... [This] is but the latest instance of the organization’s generosity. For that, I am most grateful.”
