CATHOLIC SERVICES
ON OUR DESTR0YERS

Base American F'lotilla in British
Waters, Oct. 21-(Correspondence)-
Services for Catholic sailors in the
American fotilla are being held this
month on board the destroyers. For
the first time in the history OF the
American navy, confessions are being
heard on the bridges of the little ships
ir places usually occupied only by the
destroyer commanders. There is as yet
no Catholic chaplain attached to the
American flotilla, so the services are
being conducted by a priest attached
to the British naval forces.
The chaplain comes on board the
! American ships and sends to the Of
| hcer of the day a request to meet the
Catholic members of the crew on the
! bridge. The visit is usually made at the
noon day lunch hour when half
hours suspension of work on the part
! OF certain of the crew will not inter
fere with their duties. The chaplain
climbs the ladder to the bridge and
soon finds himself surrounded by
20 OF Is me mbers of the crew.
The sailors present an interesting
>Ic,taci" i'll their different manner of
dress. Those who have just been
sWabbing down the steel decks are still
barefoot; others are wearing the popu
lar blue overall, some are smeared with
fresh paint and not a few have en-
crged with a generous coating of the
oil and grease of the enginerUom
With their little round white caps in
hand, all cluster around the priest and
listen intently to his advice regarding
their spiritual duties. A few feet from
where they are standing on the bridge
is a darkened charthouSe where the
commanding officer lays out his course
while at sea. The priest, after con-
Guiding his remarks with the an
nCuncement that he will now hear
confessions, disappears into the chart
house and the men file in, one at a
time.
This ceremony is being carried out
Oh all of the American destroyers. The
chaplain feels that all ships in the
harbor are in his diocese and that it is
part of his duty to visit them and Of
fer spiritual advice to the sailors.
The only chaplain attached to the
American f1otlla is an Episcopal
clergyman who conducts an Episcopal
church service on Sundays on board
the two f1otilla tenders. The church
flag is unfured from the mastheads as
tEe bugle sounds the call to service.
IL good weather the worshippers stand
bare headed on the quarter deck; on
Indictment Sundays the service is held
below. Officers and men attend the
service, the ships orchestra leading
them in hymns. Only small pro-
portion of the personnel attend these
official services. most of the men pre-
ferring to go ashore and attend the
cathedral or one of the local churches.
