Washington, DC · principal church: Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception
The sole Catholic jurisdiction for the United States Armed Forces, the Department of Veterans Affairs, and U.S. government personnel serving overseas. The archdiocese has no geographic parishes: pastoral care is delivered through commissioned Catholic chaplains at military installations, VA medical centers, and federal posts worldwide. What follows is its actual structure, not a parish roster.
A curated index of principal installations where Catholic chaplaincy is established, organized by the archdiocese's episcopal vicariates and by branch of service. The full jurisdiction spans more than 220 installations in 29 countries and 153 VA medical centers; this index lists the major posts. Always confirm current Mass and confession schedules with the installation chapel.
