The Chaplain General’s Office describes this award as follows:

“The Coronation Medal commemorates the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III as King of Canada. Recipients were selected based on nomination in recognition that they have made a significant contribution to Canada or to a particular province, territory, region or community of Canada, or have made an outstanding achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.”  

As part of Lutheran Church–Canada’s service in congregations and reaching out to others, LCC serves our nation by mandating Ordained Pastors to serve as chaplains for His Majesty’s Canadian Armed Forces. Whether at home in Garrisons, Dockyards, Wings and chapels or overseas in the field or in warships, the blessings of the Gospel are carried forth by our faithful Padres to men and women in uniform, and their families.

Chaplains of the Canadian Armed Forces serve both God and nation by bringing their unique gifts with which they are endowed by God, to the military personnel of our nation in the broad, challenging, diverse, and ever-changing environment of the Regular and Reserve forces of Army, Navy and Air Force. 

Lutheran Church–Canada is grateful to God for providing faithful chaplains to serve the men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces.
