Bishop James Conley will celebrate the annual “White Mass” for health care professionals Saturday, March 7 at 9 a.m. in the Pope St. John XXIII Diocesan Center, 3700 Sheridan Blvd., Lincoln.

A breakfast and meeting will follow. Anyone who works in the healthcare industry is invited, including family members. There is no need to register to attend. Donations will be accepted at the breakfast. 

The event is sponsored by the Lincoln guild of the Catholic Medical Association.

The Catholic Medical Association (CMA) is the largest association of Catholic individuals in health care. The organization helps members grow in faith, maintain ethical integrity, and provide excellent health care in accordance with the teachings of the Church. The CMA helps to start and support independent guilds (chapters) throughout the country. Guilds provide fellowship, education, and service to the local Church, the community, and peers in health care.

There are two CMA guilds in Nebraska, in Omaha and Lincoln. Dr. Arthur Grinstead is the Lincoln Guild president. The Nebraska Catholic Nurses group is a member of the Catholic Medical Association.

The CMA aims to provide opportunities for spiritual growth, such as the White Mass and retreats; to organize support for local and national mission work; and to provide a voice in the public square that Catholic healthcare workers need.
