The growing shortage of Catholic U.S. Military chaplains has left installations such as Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB) in Washington, DC, without an active-duty priest. Recently, Monsignor Michael Butler, Ch Col USAF (Ret.) came out of retirement at the age of 61 to serve full-time as a civil service federal employee at JBAB, providing pastoral care to Catholics at the base. In this edition of Catholic Military Life, the only official podcast of the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, Msgr. Butler talks about his unlikely path to military service and the vocation within a vocation, serving those who serve.
