The military vicariate of Canada was canonically erected on 17 February 1951 by Pope Pius XII, but Catholic Military bishops have served the Canadian Army since 1939.
The need to appoint a bishop was only felt during the Second World War, while chaplains had already been represented since the Boer War.
On 1986.07.21 it was promoted as Military Ordinariate of Canada. Since the promulgation of the apostolic constitution Spirituali militum curae by Pope John Paul II, the administration of chaplaincies was made much easier.
