Chaplain Services
What is a padre? Your padre is:
- A caring person of faith
- A confidant who you can trust
- A counsellor to help you find your way
- An advocate to represent you
- A mentor to encourage you
- A source of comfort in troubled times
CFB Shilo's chaplain team is available to point you in the direction you need to go, listen when you need to talk something through, encourage you when you are in need, and come alongside you when you aren't quite sure what to do. You are encouraged to talk with your chaplain at any time during the course of your military career.
