Father Robert R. Cannon

Faced with a chronic shortage of Catholic priests to serve on active duty as chaplains in the U.S. Military, the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA (AMS), is looking for volunteers from dioceses across the country and abroad. In June, the AMS will host its fourth, all-expenses paid retreat for already-ordained priests discerning whether they are called to the "vocation within a vocation." In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official AMS podcast, Chancellor Father Colonel Robert R. Cannon, USAF (Ret.), shares how the retreat experience will give participating priests first-hand exposure to what it's like "Serving Those Who Serve."
