Within a Chapter's [[fortress-monastery]] is the [[Reclusiam]], a large chamber devoted to cult activities, and where the Chapter's holy relics and, sometimes, the body of its Primarch, are housed. The Chaplains lead their sermons from here, and rouse the Marines in their love of the Emperor. The [[Battle Barge]]s and ships of the Chapter's fleet also include huge cathedrals in the heart of each ship, allowing the Space Marines to pray while away from the fortress. Chaplains always lead the Space Marines in prayer, but a Chaplain is not always needed for a Marine to pray.{{Fn|19}}
Each [[Space Marine Company]] has its own Chaplain. Chaplains begin their careers as [[Judicar]]'s within the Chapter.{{Fn|21}} At the headquarters level of the Chapter organization are Chaplains holding the ranks of [[Reclusiarch]] and [[Master of Sanctity]], whose responsibilities extend to the Chapter as a whole.{{Fn|19}}
