Base Chapels
The religious program for the Base is designed to provide all members
of the military community with opportunities similar to those
afforded by the various churches in civilian communities. The two
chapels are located next to one another on Lundy's Lane at Batoche
Avenue in the centre of the Fort Henry Heights Married Quarters and
both have active congregations. The chapels also provide a central
meeting place for all service personnel and their families who are most
welcome to join in the various activities. Whatever your Christian background
happens to be, we are sure you will find a warm welcome
at the chapel you choose to attend.

Sacramental Preparation
For the preparation for such sacraments as Baptism, 1st Reconciliation
and 1st Communion, Confirmation and Marriage, make an appointment
with the Padre at (613) 541-4223. His local is 4223 from a base
phone. The padre will meet with you and discuss what would be involved
for the preparation and the celebration of the sacraments.
Marriages
To prepare for marriage, contact the RC Padre at least six months
before the date of your marriage. This allows time to plan for the marriage
preparation course, complete the marriage forms and book the
appropriate Padre for the occasion.
Confessions
Are by request.
