I went to SERE school in 2017 with this chaplain! He preached to the whole class and spread the gospel message. Back then I was a Protestant. Now I’m Catholic. God Bless him!
Welcome home ❤🎉
He is an amazing priest! He visited my college and I talked with him about discernment, great man.
Thank you for this video! I’m an Army veteran and so is my husband. We both deployed to Iraq and now our son has enlisted into the Air Force. We definitely need our priests in military services! God bless you all!

The priest founder of my parish, Father Henry Murphy, served as a chaplain in the Army, during World War II. Thank-you for your service, Father Henry Murphy, RIP/MEMORY ETERNAL.
My great uncle was a Chaplain in World War 2 and was very beloved by people in his parish. RIP Uncle John❤
I was blessed to serve both on Active Duty and in both the Florida and Massachusetts National Guards as an Army Chaplain for 33 years. It was a joy to serve Soldiers and their families! God bless them! 5:12
#militarychaplainsrock #thankyouforyourservice
Thank you so much for your service and the Massachusetts National Guards rock!
Thank you for your work for God and country
Not a priest! I'm sorry but us Catholics can only be bless by a priest
I have, and continue to serve, for more than 17 years and have found Chaplains bring humanity and care to what could otherwise be a dystopian environment - if only in the extreme instances. Thank you to all Chaplains for their service and tending to our spiritual needs.
Amen brother! On deployment, I was always at peace when the Chapain and his RP would tag along with us during convoys to hit different FOBs. We would receive communion out in the afghan desert. That part felt very raw, despite being in combat that we still had time for Christ.Thank you for this channel, much love

Thanks to the Chaplins Corp my sons recovery would have been completely different. He was in Landstul Germany 2 months, Walter Reed 3 months. He lost a lung to a Compression Blast to the chest. The medical staff healed him, the chaplains saved him through Gods hand , and gave me my support to be strong for my son. God bless.
Prayers for his recovery
I served in the Navy. I was denied my right to practice my faith and attend holy mass during deployment in 2018-2019. That was the main reason I only served for one contract. God bless the men that act on the calling to priesthood.
I owe so much to the Catholic Chaplains. They taught me how to be a lay leader and give communion to other catholic on the ships I was deployed on. They also helped me out during some of my personal struggles. Chaplains have a special place in God's Kingdom!
FR PETE is one of the BESt!!!
He baptized my youngest! He's a fantastic man who really cares about his soldiers and their famiies!!!
Katie! Great hearing from you! Say hello for me!
God bless our heroic Chaplains!!!
Thank you and please continue to pray for our priests in the Chaplain Corps
30 years in the Air Force I still have my wartime prayer books and sacramentals from Chaplains. TY Chappy hand salute.
My husband was a Chaplain's Assistant in Viet Nam for most of his deployment of 14 months. God bless Father Nasser, from Queens, the priest he served. And God bless our military including the chaplains. He saw combat; his job was to protect Father Nasser and they were on the front lines everyday. They said Mass in the field everyday. I thank God my husband survived to come home. Thanks for this episode. I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for your service!
Love Fr. Peter! When not traveling, he serves us at St. Agnes & St. William of York in Baltimore. Great man, great homilist!
Prayers for all our Catholic preachers, may God bless you always.
Greatest military in the world 🇺🇸
As a retired Navy veteran, I would certainly like to see Catholic deacons in the military as we have too few Catholic priests. It would be wonderful to have a Catholic leader aboard every ship wherein they could instruct the laity and serve as ministers of Holy Communion.
As a catholic iam so proud to hear and know what priests are doing for humanity in their vocation. God bless you all so richly. I will pray for you all. Go man og god . God will surely provide for your saftey and direction in your daily activities👍❤❤
Greetings from Ireland. I was inspired to read about Fr. A. H. Schmitt who was a military chaplain at Pearl Harbour in 1941. He gave up his life to save others. He should be canonised.
What a great episode! Religious support is so important to our service members.
Our Catholic Priest in service of the military are truly soldiers of Christ and for Christ! Bless be our brave, courageous and faithful Holy Priests.
Thank you for your service Father. As a veteran, my last 5 years in the 82nd Airborne, I had many encounters with Catholic Chaplains. I credit a lot of that interaction to my conversion this past Easter Vigil. Stay blessed and stay AIRBORNE!
My Favorite Band of Brothers scene - Guarnere praying the rosary just before Easy Company drops into Normandy. I am a Navy submarine vet, and priests were few and far between. My job was Extraordinary minister of the Eucharist when we were submerged for weeks at a time. This was in 84 and 85 when the military was served by the Vicariate for the Military services as part of the Archdiocese of New York. As I recall, the Archdiocese for Military Services was created by JPII in 1986.
I'm reading "To Raise the Fallen" a biography of chaplain Fr. Willie Doyle, SJ. I learned so much about the horrors of WWl and how much solace Fr. Doyle brought to the dying and the maimed.
Fr. Doyle was amazing! I read that biography recently, too - truly a man of God.
Have you checked out the USA chaplains, Fr. Emil Kapaun and Fr. Vincent Capodanno, both causes being considered for St.
Thank you, Cpt. Pomposello, for your service to God and to our military. God bless all our devoted military chaplains! Frs. Kapaun and Capodanno, pray for us!
I’m interested in doing this in my future and I didn’t know how exactly to go about it,Being both a catholic priest and in the military at the same time.
Airborne All the Way, Father!!!!
Father earned a combat badge, airborne, air assault, and army path finder badges! Very squared away. Not many soldiers have competed all those schools or been to combat. God Bless.
This priest has a lot of chest candy (the small black icons on his left chest : jumpmaster, pathfinder, air assault)
Airborne, Air Assault, Pathfinder... that Father stacked bodies once
Catholic Chaplains have been a big part of my military career. Thank you all for what you do for the troops.
I'm watching this on July 4th. Thank you, Father, for your service. God bless America 🇺🇸
An old priest of mine is a Dominican chaplain in the Royal Navy.
Wow! I’m glad I ran into this Channel! I’m Catholic, live in Fredericksburg, Va. Our Priest was just Commissioned two weeks ago…He’s going to be a Military Chaplain. His name is Father Khoer! We missed him at our Church, (ST. MARY’S)….

Our parish priest just graduated from CHBOLC in January at Fort Jackson, South Carolina.
A group of us went down and surprised him for his graduation. We are all so very proud of him.
Me too! My husband, my three son in-laws, my dad, and 2 of my brothers.
That was a good show!
I so enjoyed your show this morning. I learned so much about chaplains in the military. I have been a Catholic all my life, graduated from a CatholicSchool. Got married at 20 and had 6 children and my husband died when our youngest was 5 years old, 41 years ago. I am 84 years old, and love my Catholic faith every day. Keep up your good work, you will be in my prayers. Amen
This was a very interesting episode. Thank you to Fr Pomposello for sharing about your ministry.
I hope you spoke about our military chaplains who are currently being considered for sainthood. Father Emil Kapaun and Father Vincent Capodanno, both US military chaplains and Fr. Willie Doyle from Ireland. I haven't watched this episode yet, but no matter.....#militarychaplainsrock
Would love to do that in another episode
Thanks for all the hard work and great content. Keep fighting the good fight.
You are Blessed Chaplain! My prayers for the Safety and Good Health for all of you sacrificing time and effort to uplift spiritual awareness even in the most difficult situations
Fr. Adrian McCarthy SM was one of my parish priests years ago. He was a chaplain with the US Army in the European Theater.
Started listening and was super excited and pleasantly surprised to hear the name of your guest. My family and I miss you Father Pomposello! He was our chaplain at a military base in Alaska. My kids loved his sermons and was wonderful with them! I hope to see you in the near future! God bless you! We love the Hallow app, we listen to it all the time. I’m so grateful for it.
God Bless YOU ALL....
Looking forward to the episode!
I’d like to hear more about catholic priests in the army reserve..
This show was so awesome. ❤️
Great show and glad it aired on 4th of July weekend. Wish you all the best and thank you for your service to God and this country. God Bless America.
Navy officer here. Chaplains are a great asset to the fleet. Some can be very hit or miss, but their services are invaluable. Most recently, I served with an Episcopalian Chaplain from the Royal Navy, and he was incredible. Nevertheless, we do need more Catholic Chaplains!
The American Military, especially the Marines, have always been over-represented with Catholics, but the number of Catholic Chaplains is decreasing dramatically. This is doubly tragic because Catholic Chaplains have historically been seen as the Best and the Bravest: think of MOH Recipients and Soon to be Saints: Fathers Kaupon and Cappodanno!
Sadly, we don't even have a single Catholic military priest to serve our New Orleans military parish, much less a Catholic chaplain. They have had to hire a local civilian priest to serve mass for years. And we have had a protestant chaplain for 20 years now. 😔
I was in Bastogne about 15 yrs ago and met a priest there who was six yrs old and in Bastogne during T B of T B
What an incredible program. God bless you all - thank you for sharing. so much information and love here!
Thank you cross catholick talk show
Hallow Catholic show God bless
This was a great show! What a dynamic person and priest. I went way back through his instagram postings and he is really good. What an incredible job he has and is doing!!
As an Army kid and Veteran I am so so grateful for the Military Chaplin's. Grateful, yet strangely, when we were stationed in Germany our Priest was from Africa and he was a wonderful Priest. Sorry I don't know the spelling of his name but he was a wonderful Priest and taught me so much about his area in Africa and was smiling. Miss him.
Coincidentally I almost met the Arch Bishop of the Military. Long story short, I went through MCRD Parris Island, SC. I got hurt about a month into training and for personal reasons at the time, regrettably ended up separating. I discharged a week before my company graduated. I will testify and cannot stress enough how important Military Chaplains are to everyone involved! I found myself in a rather trying position while I was there, and it was one I never thought I would ever find myself in. I have to give thanks to the Chaplain of the 2nd Recruit Training Battalion, Fr. McMillan! He is an amazing priest and having gone to a few of his Religious ed sessions, it brought some reprieve from what I had going on in my personal affairs there and at home! From boot camp/ OCS, whatever capacity you serve in, all the way through to the end of your Military career, there is always a Chaplain available! They are there for you, to listen to you and help you through whatever you have going on! It’s a true blessing to have these men and women to help you bear whatever cross you’re carrying during your Military journey and you will never forget them for what they did for you in your trials and moments of greatness!!
Im asian catholic pray for all christianity stay united and make sure have more baby to maintain world number 1 religion. Amen.
This was an amazing show!!!! I love Catholic military content!
Your comments about find that soldier from your base somewhere else remained me of a similar story. It’s was Father Tom, at Holy Spirit In Va Beach. One Sunday his sermon starts by telling us he’s finally received the okay from the Bishop to serve. 15 years later I’m working as a software consultant in Guam and decide to attend mass on the Naval Base. I thought right away there seemed be some similarities in his mass from St. Cecilia’s, so I waited and asked at the end mass and sure enough it was Father Tom.
Unfortunately, due to the general priest shortage in the U.S. and the world, there are military bases with no Catholic chaplain, and they still end up depending on the local civilian community. That is not necessarily a problem, simply a shame. When I was stationed at Vance AFB in Enid, Oklahoma, we had a Catholic chaplain for awhile, but eventually the position was left empty with the DOD’s apologies. I found a home church downtown, but I lived on base, and I missed having a chaplain as part of my military community with a common core of experience. I became mildly envious of the USAF Protestants on base who had a chaplain at the Base Chapel. I retired in the local area from there 22 years ago, and they still don’t have a Catholic Chaplain. They claimed there were not enough Catholics to justify a chaplain, but I recall the Masses always full. We were also told we could use the Protestant chaplain, but they cannot administer sacraments (Communion, Confession, etc.). Oh well, we had a great church downtown that I fell in love with. I suppose that is all that really matters. Saint Francis Xavier Church is wonderful.
Thanks for sharing since I had suspicions of the overall priest shortage affecting chaplaincies. I wonder if this specific situation would improve, if married men were still eligible for ordination to the priesthood? Married deacons really step up in parishes without pastors (specifically assigned parish priests) but they still can't hear confessions & absolve sins or consecrate the Communion species (but they can still celebrate Eucharistic services)
Amen to this! Amen! 🙏🏻
Such a great convo
This is an interesting take on Catholic military priest. 24 yrs in service the Catholic Military Diocese was a cataclysmic FAILURE. This was especially true in significant points in life. Not one positive encounter when contact with a Catholic priest - 😢
So excited for this one!! I actually wrote my final college paper on the effect military chaplains had in WWII. Highly recommend looking into Fr. Joseph T. O’Callahan S.J. and his heroics on the USS Franklin.
My father fought with the Army company that Father Colgan was with. Father Colgan was an amazing priest and so well loved by the men. He insisted on going out into the jungle to find any wounded soldiers after one of the bloodiest battles of WW2 in the Philippines He didn't come back and when they found him he was dead beside a fallen soldier. My father helped carry his body out of the jungle. .
Is that Chaplin an airborne jump master air assault pathfinder?

This is the greatest episodes that I’ve ver watched in your channel. You blown me away. Thank you all. Warm greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Sounds interesting. I'll listen.
Awesome video, God bless you all 😊
How great to hear that there is military priest praise God.🙏🙏✌️
👏👏👏💖 Congratulations
❤️
Sounds absolutely awesome to serve in the Army of God and in the US Army, st the same time.
Two good books about priests in the military:
The Miracle of Ft. Kapaun
The Grunt Padre
I have a cousin who was a priest and his sister was a nun.
I requested this topic last year THANK YOU 🙏🏼 😊
Thanks!
Great show
I sent in a comment but I don’t think it posted.
Thank you for your service to our country and the soldiers in the Army.
My daughter was contracted with the Army through ROTC Indiana University. She went to university on a full 4 year ROTC scholarship. She won loads of awards. She went to officer boot camp at Fort Knox and said that her Catholic Chaplain there was awesome and gave them so much support to make it through the program.
In her senior year at IU the Army required ROTC contracted people to get the Covid shot. My daughter objected to the shot. ( The shot was developed by using fetal retina tissue). She wanted a pass on the shot. She even went back to Fort Knox at her own expense to defend her position to the chaplain (who was Jewish). He was so impressed with her and told her she was the first person he believed was actually legitimately objected. In the end, the Army found it easier to honorably discharge her on a medical condition than give her a pass on the Covid shot.
Where were you Catholic Chaplains when the Catholic soldiers needed you to stand up for them and stand up for their objections to the shot? Why weren’t you protecting your flock? I do feel a great deal of disappointment for all those fine soldiers who were released from service due to their objections over the Covid shot. It was also a huge financial loss for the USA as so much money is poured into each soldier’s training.

Fr. Uncle Sam, There's no Catholic Mass on base here a NASWI! For quite a few years. Why?
With all of the talk within Latin ( Roman Rite) and Eastern ( Oriental Rites) Catholic Church circles about Love and Peace, Pacifism, Just War Doctrine and " Wars and Rumors of War"( Matthew 24:6; Mark 13:7; Luke 21;9) and CCC 2310, this Prior Service USMC and US Army Enlisted Veteran and Latin ( Roman Rite) Catholic Christian goes by Psalm 144:1; 2 Timothy 2:3-4 . PRO DEO ET PATRIA ( Latin, " FOR GOD AND COUNTRY").🇺🇲🇺🇸❤️🇻🇦🇻🇦✝️☦️🪖🎖️💣💥🔥🛡️🗡️⚔️🙏⛪‼️
Viva 💯Cristo Rey y la Santisima Virginia Maria ,viva la santa Iglesias catolica I love your program ♥ saludos desde Kansas city ks
How do I get in touch with Fr. Peter? I don’t have social media. I would love to have him come talk to a group of youth.
The powers that be, keep cutting the religious budget due to declining attendance. I've heard they want to eliminate all religious expenses from the military. We attend Mass on base. It's almost all retirees. 😢 it was the same at Camp Pendleton.
Don't forget Deacon Dave Williams former Chancellor for the Diocese of St. Augustine and now at Mary Queen of Heaven. Go Navy Beat Army
Wow! Thank you for this video! I had no idea!! I have a question. Can concaecrated sisters also be part of this branch? God bless you guys! :)
Explain The Doctrine of Discovery.
What about devout Catholic women, is there a place for them in the military to assist the Chaplains?
no, nor should there be
Never mind, I see where he actually says that they “insert men and women of faith” as chaplains…….
