I Corps & JBLM Religious Support Group Ball
2025-09-10 17:00 - 21:00 | Greater Tacoma Convention Center
On Wednesday, September 10th at 5:00 p.m., the U.S. Army Chaplain Corps will gather at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center for a special ball: “Honoring the Past, Forging the Future.” This year marks 250 years of sacred service to Soldiers and their Families.
The Chaplain Corps began in 1775 with its first chaplains serving as Roman Catholic priests. Throughout history, many Catholic chaplains have faithfully ministered in times of peace and war, often at great personal risk, with some making the ultimate sacrifice. This celebration is an opportunity to honor that legacy of faith, courage, and service.
Our Catholic community has always been an integral part of this story. Your presence at this event will be a visible sign of our gratitude for all chaplains who have walked alongside service members in their most difficult and most joyful moments.
Event Details:
Date: Wednesday, September 10, 2025 – 5:00 p.m.
Location: Greater Tacoma Convention Center
Attire: Military – Formal Uniform | Civilian – Formal Dress
Ticket Deadline: 25 AUG 2025
You can register easily by scanning the QR code on the attached flyer or click this link: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/i-corps-and-jblm-joint-religious-support-ball-tickets-1559880226749?aff=oddtdtcreator
Let us come together in faith and gratitude, honoring the past and supporting the future of chaplains’ ministry.
Thank you.
Fr. Marcin
