CALENDAR OF EVENTS

The Catholic Physiciand Guild of Dallas will hold its annual White Mass for Healthcare Professionals at the Cathedral Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe. All heath care professionals are invited to join Bishop J. Douglas Deshotel for the annual White Mass for the Diocese of Dallas.  A reception will follow in the Grand Salon, requested donation of $15 per adult.  Spouses and children are welcome.

The  tradition of the White Mass in the United States finds its origins in  the development of the national Catholic Medical Association in the early 1930s. From its inception, the medical profession has been understood as a healing profession, a way in which Christ’s work continues upon the earth. Moreover, since the apparitions at Lourdes in the late 19th century, the plight of the infirmed -and those who care for them- have taken on  renewed appreciation in participating in the mysteries of Christ’s own  life. The White Mass, so named by the color worn by those in the healing  profession of medicine, gathers health care professionals under the patronage of St. Luke to ask God’s blessing upon the patient doctor, nurse, and caregiver alike.

Reception to be held in the adjacent salon following the White Mass.  All Catholic healthcare professionals (including non-physicians) are invited.

Sponsored by the Catholic Physicians Guild of Dallas.
