Welcome to Fort Knox! The Fort Knox Religious Support Office (RSO) provides religious support to Soldiers, other service members, authorized civilians, their Families, and retirees across the community. In addition, the RSO advises the garrison commander in accordance with Title X requirements; religious factors that impact operations; ethical leadership, values, and morals; and morale as affected by religion.

The RSO looks forward to serving you!
Chapel Worship Services
We provide the full range of pastoral ministries and spiritual services to those Catholics who are in communion with the Holy See and currently serve in the U.S. Armed Forces. Under the religious leadership of Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA, serves as the sole endorser for our community's Catholic priests.
Our Mission
The mission of the whole Church is to help bring people into a meaningful and profound relationship with God. Together we strive to be an active, vibrant, and committed gathering of Catholic faithful looking to serve and love the Lord and our community. We live this through the Sacraments, religious education, Catholic auxiliary programs, and other fellowship and service opportunities.
