MCBQ Chapel is conducting limited worship services.
0900 Roman Catholic Mass
1030 Combined Protestant Worship
1215 Roman Catholic Mass

The primary focus of the provision of worship is always for our active duty service-members and their dependents.

All who choose to attend are encouraged to consider carefully their own health risk, and the health risks presented to others.

There are some who are greater risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

They are; people 65 years and older, people who live in care facilities, people with underlying medical conditions, people with chronic lung disease or asthma, people who have serious heart conditions, are immune-compromised, are severely obese, have diabetes, have chronic kidney disease, or have liver disease.

We strongly encourage everyone considering attending worship, to carefully weigh the risks to themselves and others, as well wearing masks if possible.

If you have any misgivings or fear of attending worship in person, please follow your convictions and continue to pursue the feeding of your souls electronically, as best as you can. We are making plans at MCBQ to provide some limited recordings of our worship services until such a time as we can all meet together again in person.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Marine Corps Base Quantico provides a comprehensive Command Religious Program for active duty personnel and their family members at Quantico, and for the military retirees living in the surrounding communities. Opportunities abound in the chapel communities. The Traditional Protestant chapel community program offers several worship services on Sundays and other special days during the Church year. The Roman Catholic chapel community program features a robust religious education program in addition to numerous Masses on Sundays, and Holy days of obligation. Adult Education classes and a vibrant Catholic Youth Ministry enable Catholics to enjoy the many aspects of the Catholic Faith. Located at the Religious & Family Service Center (Bldg. 3019), our Religious Program Specialist stand ready to assist you in finding the best way to meet your religious needs. The office can aid you in joining with one of the many active congregations aboard the Base, finding a local civilian congregation, or talking with one of our chaplains. Call (703) 784-2518 for more information about daily or weekend denominational services conducted by our chaplains in addition to any questions about reserving the U.S. Marine Memorial Chapel located on Marine Corps Base Quantico. Note: When requesting to reserve the U.S Marine Memorial Chapel located on Marine Corps Base, do not confuse our facilities with the Semper Fidelis Memorial Chapel located and operated by The National Museum of the Marine Corps.
