- Close to 1,000 VA spiritual care providers, called chaplains, serve our nation’s Veterans, their families, caregivers, and VA employees. In this video, Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs, Denis McDonough, pays tribute to VA chaplains—selfless servants who serve all Veterans—those who hold religious or spiritual beliefs and those who do not.
Secretary McDonough recounts, during one of his first site visits of his tenure, running into one of those VA chaplains at the St. Cloud, Minnesota VA. He didn’t recognize the chaplain at first, but this VA chaplain knew Secretary McDonough from his time as an undergraduate at St. John’s University. The chaplain recounted to the Secretary, “VA's respect for all Veterans fit his Benedictine heritage and values perfectly. Every Veteran is seen as a person, he said, worthy of the highest level of respect and care because of having said yes to serving our country.

- Welcome to our special tribute to the VA chaplains who serve Veterans, their caregivers, and their families across the nation. In honor of Spiritual Care Week, we’re shining a spotlight on the diverse roles chaplains play within the VA system - roles that extend far beyond the traditional image of religious service.
Chaplains at the VA are much more than spiritual advisors. They are compassionate guides, supporting Veterans and their families through some of the most challenging moments in life. From crisis intervention and mental health support to assisting caregivers and providing grief care, our chaplains walk beside Veterans every step of the way. They offer help in unexpected ways - whether it’s a listening ear, connecting Veterans with essential services, or simply being a comforting presence in times of need.
In this video, you’ll hear from VA leadership and chaplains as they share their personal experiences, showcasing how they integrate spiritua...
