Capt. Daniel L. Mode, a Navy chaplain from the Diocese of
Arlington, celebrates Mass aboard the USS Blue Ridge, the oldest operational
ship in the Navy, last month.
Father Mode was ordained in 1992. Early in his ministry,
he was vice principal and chaplain for Bishop O’Connell High School in
Arlington, serving in the naval reserves during the summers. He was assigned to
active duty for the U.S. Navy in 2007.
