The Military Ordinariate of Canada ({{lang-fr|Ordinariat militaire du Canada}}, {{lang-la|Ordinariatus Militaris Canadensis}}) is a military ordinariate (pseudo-diocese) of the Roman Catholic Church.

It is exempt, i.e. immediately subject to the Holy See (not part of any ecclesiastical province) and its Roman Congregation for Bishops. Its headquarters (no cathedral see) are at Canadian Forces Support Unit (Ottawa), Uplands site - Building 469, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0K2. The current episcopal Ordinary is Scott McCaig. The Roman Catholic Military Ordinary is a member of the ecumenical Interfaith Committee on Canadian Military Chaplaincy (ICCMC).

Statistics

As per 2014, it provides pastoral care to Roman Catholics serving in the Canadian Forces and their families in 22 parishes with 37 priests (36 diocesan, 1 religious), 7 deacons and 1 lay religious brother.

History

The military vicariate of Canada was canonically erected on 17 February 1951 by Pope Pius XII, but Catholic Army bishops have served the Canadian Army since 1939.

On 1986.07.21 it was promoted as Military Ordinariate of Canada. Since the promulgation of the apostolic constitution Spirituali militum curae by Pope John Paul II, the administration of chaplaincies was made much easier.
