A two-month impasse over providing Catholic chaplain services to patients and staff at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center ended Wednesday, the Archdiocese for the Military Services said.
Franciscan priests and friars of the Holy Name College Friary in Silver Spring returned to the facility under a new, five-year contract, the archdiocese said.
The cancellation came just before Holy Week and Easter celebrations. Military Services Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio and several members of Congress, led by Sen. Marco Rubio, protested the move as a violation of religious free exercise. The archbishop thanked Maj. Gen. Thomas L. Solhjem, the Army chief of chaplains, “for his personal intervention” in the case.
