Northern Virginia Guild of the Catholic Medical Association
About Northern Virginia Guild of the Catholic Medical Association
We are the Northern Virginia guild of the Catholic Medical Association (CMA). Chartered in 2007, ours was the 8th of more than 100 current guilds to be chartered during and after a remarkable era of spiritual renewal and rebirth in the Church. At the time, St. Pope John Paul the Great dubbed it the “New Springtime of Evangelization” as he taught us new ways to discover Christ personally. It was a time when Catholics began to form a more dynamic personal relationship with a loving God, share our enthusiasm for our faith, and live our faith in all aspects of life, including our profession. We grew spiritually from the fruits of this way of living then, as we continue to do so today.
Living our faith in this rapidly evolving, complex world can be challenging. The CMA and its local guilds help us to meet these challenges by fostering spiritual growth which is based in the teachings of the Catholic Church, and by helping us to form a spiritual network for each other.
Our mission is to imitate the Divine Healer as we care for each patient, and become a network of support for each other in both our personal and professional lives.
