About Allentown Guild of the Catholic Medical Association
The Allentown Guild of the Catholic Medical Association is a physician-led professional organization serving healthcare providers throughout the Diocese of Allentown, based in Orefield, PA. Since its charter in March 2009, the Guild has established itself as a vital resource for medical professionals seeking to integrate Catholic ethical principles into their clinical practice. The organization brings together physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who are committed to upholding the moral and ethical teachings of the Catholic Church in modern medicine.
The Guild operates under the Secretariat for Catholic Life and Evangelization of the Diocese of Allentown, providing members with educational programming, networking opportunities, and spiritual formation. The organization hosts the annual White Mass, a significant liturgical event that celebrates the vocation of Catholic healthcare workers and includes keynote presentations from respected medical ethicists and practitioners. Through conferences, seminars, and community events, the Guild informs and inspires its members to maintain steadfast fidelity to Catholic doctrine while addressing contemporary challenges in healthcare delivery.
Consecrated to the protection of Saint Anthony Mary Zaccaria, physician and priest, the organization embodies a tradition of medical excellence grounded in spiritual commitment. The Guild's leadership, including Bishop Alfred A. Schlert and the diocesan ethicist, provides ongoing pastoral guidance and theological direction. For healthcare professionals in the Orefield, PA area and throughout the Diocese of Allentown seeking a community that bridges faith and medicine, the Allentown Guild of the Catholic Medical Association offers meaningful fellowship, professional development, and spiritual support.
