Based in St. Petersburg, FL, this chartered guild of the Catholic Medical Association welcomes healthcare professionals who are dedicated to growing spiritually and professionally while bringing the presence of Christ to their medical practice.
Founded on the principle that faith and medicine are inseparable, the guild creates a supportive community where physicians and healthcare workers can strengthen their personal relationship with Christ while advancing their professional expertise. Members gather for events, meetings, and spiritual activities that nurture both the soul and the mind, recognizing that effective healthcare requires wholeness in the practitioner. The organization is dedicated to Saint Philomena, whose intercession guides the guild's mission and values.
Serving the St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay healthcare community, the guild invites physicians and healthcare professionals to join a fellowship of colleagues who understand the unique challenges and rewards of practicing medicine as a Catholic vocation. Through shared prayer, professional development, and mutual support, members work together to assist the Church and broader Christian community by bringing their particular knowledge, skill, and experience as Catholic healthcare providers.
