Why belong here
St. Martin of Tours is the Catholic home for everyone connected to Fort Gregg-Adams — active-duty soldiers, families, DoD civilians, contractors, and retirees. The community offers Sunday and weekday Mass, regular opportunities for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, parish-based religious education for children, plus men's (CMOC) and women's (CWOC) fellowship groups, a homebound ministry that visits the sick and confined, and baptism preparation classes. Because it is part of the installation's Religious Support Office, the parish welcomes newcomers and short-term residents and helps them plug into a worshiping Catholic community that travels with the military.

St. Martin of Tours Catholic Community
St. Martin of Tours is the Roman Catholic worshiping community at Fort Gregg-Adams, Virginia. It is administered by the garrison's Religious Support Office (RSO) and falls under the Archdiocese for the Military Services, USA. The community takes its name from St. Martin of Tours, a 4th-century Roman soldier who became bishop of Tours in France and is venerated as the patron saint of soldiers — a deeply resonant patron for a military community that moves with its service members. Worship is centered in Memorial Chapel, Building 10600, on Sisisky Boulevard on the installation.
