Welcome to the Albany, NY Guild of the Catholic Medical Association

In order to grow in our understanding of the moral and ethical principles of our Catholic Faith. We seek to engage and live our call to holiness, to grow in our love of God, and to support one another as faithful Catholics.

About Us

Welcome Health Care Professionals,

We welcome you to join us as Catholic individuals dedicated to the ministry of health care. We are inspired with a vision to imitate Jesus Christ by the witness of the North American Martyrs that died within the borders of our diocese. Our little band of members has begun our mission to form and support current and future physicians to live and promote the principles of the Catholic faith in the science and practice of medicine.  We intend to help our members grow in faith, maintain ethical integrity, and provide excellent health care in accordance with the teachings of the Church.
