Father Curtiss Dwyer

The U.S. Marine Corps motto is "Semper Fidelis," which means "Always Faithful." But what does "faith" really mean to those who serve? Father Curtiss Dwyer, CHC, LT, USN, serves as a chaplain at Marine Corps Base Quantico. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Father Dwyer joins us by phone to share how he goes about his ministry to The Few. The Proud. The Marines. Father Dwyer also recounts how he discovered his priestly vocation, and the "vocation within a vocation" to volunteer as a Navy chaplain, and he shares some of his experiences since coming aboard, including a 10-month deployment to the Persian/Arabian Gulf during which he hopscotched between ships by helicopter to bring the sacraments to the faithful in uniform at sea.
