About
The Denver Guild of the Catholic
Medical Association (Denver-CMA) was initiated in January 2008. It is
a collaboration among Catholic Physicians, Dentists,
Nurses, Clergy, Psychologists and other Health Care
Professionals. The group came together to meet the
increasing need for Health Care Providers to be educated
in the teachings of the Catholic Church as well as for
Catholic Clergy to become more aware of the needs of
Catholic Health Care providers. A Guild of the National
Catholic Medical Association (CMA) was established in October
2008. The guidelines for members and associate members
follow the recommendations of the National Association.
On October 17, 2008, Archbishop
Charles J. Chaput ofm. Cap. celebrated the first annual
White Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate
Conception. Father Timothy Hjelstrom, a priest of the
Archdiocese of Denver, serves as its Assistant Chaplain.
Meetings are held on the third
Wednesday of each month, with the exception of December
and July. The meetings usually begin with a Holy Mass
followed by an educational conference.
The Denver-CMA upholds the teaching of the Catholic Church
on all medical and ethical concerns. Each member
practices this teaching and cherishes life from
conception to natural death. In all levels of patient
care, the members are attentive to the dignity of each
human person.

“The Spirit has
led you to Denver to fill you with new Life: to give you
a stronger faith and hope and love. Everything in you –
your mind and heart, will and freedom, gifts and talents
– everything is being taken up by the Holy Spirit in
order to make you “living stones” of the “spiritual
house” which is the Church.”
