CATANESE, PATRICK

Catanesse, Patrick specializes in providing ministry coordination services to military personnel through religious and faith-based support programs. The contractor’s core capability centers on delivering spiritual care and moral support to service members, particularly in operational and garrison environments, by facilitating structured airmen ministry initiatives. This includes organizing chaplaincy support activities, coordinating volunteer lay leaders, and ensuring alignment with Department of Defense religious accommodation policies. Technical expertise lies in program implementation within military culture, understanding of military chain-of-command dynamics, and adherence to DoD Instruction 1300.17 on religious liberty. Key differentiators include direct engagement with service members’ spiritual well-being, cultural sensitivity to diverse faith practices, and the ability to operate with minimal oversight in decentralized environments. The contractor has demonstrated experience working exclusively with the Department of Defense, delivering non-combat, morale-enhancing services that complement chaplaincy teams. Their work supports the DoD’s broader mission of sustaining force readiness through holistic care, focusing on the emotional and spiritual resilience of airmen and other service members. The primary NAICS code, 813110—Religious Organizations—reflects a niche positioning in government-contracted faith-based support services. In practice, this means the contractor operates as a non-profit-style entity delivering religious ministry under federal contract, distinct from traditional chaplaincy roles but aligned with their objectives. The vertical specialization is exclusively within military spiritual care, with no indication of broader religious or social service delivery. As a sole proprietorship under entity structure 2J, the contractor operates as an individual practitioner without institutional backing or federal certifications. Based in Shreveport, Louisiana, the business maintains a localized footprint but delivers services nationally through DoD contracts, positioning itself as a specialized, mission-critical provider within the defense spiritual support ecosystem.
