Chapels & Chaplains

The Chaplains provide support to the members and the families of 19 Wing. 

The Chaplains on the Wing are each assigned Squadrons/Units to best assist the Chain of Command and who offer pastoral services to maintain operational readiness. Chaplains are called upon to provide services to all, regardless of beliefs.

There are two chapel communities at 19 Wing: Our Lady of the Sacred Heart (RC community) and St. Michael and All Angels (Protestant community). All present and former serving members, and civilians and their families are welcome to share in the worship and fellowship of the Chapels. The two chapels are now co-located at the newly renovated Faith Centre, located at 1445 Military Row, next to Glacier Gardens Arena.
