INTRODUCTION/SCOPE Background. The commander Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD) is responsible for providing the spiritual and religious care of patients and staff and supporting the Naval Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) mobilization requirements. BUMED provides chaplain billets to support these requirements. The Chaplain Corps provides chaplains to fill these billets. The diverse variety of religious denominations among patients and staff require a proportionate denominational mix of chaplains. Discussion. The Roman Catholic faith group is a significant cross section of patients and staff requiring religious support at NMCSD. Approximately 30% of the hospital nature of pastoral care to Roman Catholics is sacramental in nature. The celebration and administration of sacraments requires the presence of a Catholic priest. Therefore, it is essential that Catholic priests are available to provide pastoral care and sacraments to Roman Catholic patients and staff at NMCSD and support deployments. Traditionally, the Navy Chaplain Corps has been able to provide and adequate number of Catholic priests to fill billet requirements and care for the Roman Catholic population within the naval sea services.
