Does anybody know how I can become a Catholic Chaplin and what colleges can I attend?

Does anybody know how I can become a Catholic Chaplin and what colleges can I attend? I am a Catholic female, and I feel I have a calling to become one, but I am still figuring out whom I can talk to and hear others experiences on how they became a Chaplain or Catholic Chaplain. I also want to know if anybody is in the miliary and became a Chaplain in the military as well.

I am also very interested in Psychology so I will be taking an Introduction to Psychology and also taking courses on becoming a Substance Abuse Counselor.

Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you all! Thank you!!

Nija’s Answer

To become a Catholic chaplain, you usually need to:

1) Get a bachelor's degree, preferably in theology, psychology, or a similar area.

2) Complete a graduate degree in theology, divinity, or pastoral studies.

3) Finish at least one unit of Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE).

4) Obtain endorsement from your bishop or religious leader.

5) Apply for certification with the National Association of Catholic Chaplains (NACC).

You can attend colleges like:
- Boston College School of Theology and Ministry
- Loyola University Chicago
- Fordham University
