The Catholic Physicians Guild, Hamilton Chapter, invites all to a special Mass for Healthcare Professionals. This Healthcare Professionals Mass is for hospital and nursing home personnel, physicians, nurses, chaplains, physical therapists, mental health caregivers, chiropractors, administration, dietary staff, registration, security, environmental services, maintenance, transport, lab workers and ALL those involved in the healthcare field, as well as students in the health sciences fields.

The Healthcare Professional Mass — also known as the “White Mass” because of the white lab coats traditionally worn by the Healthcare Profession — dates back to the late 1800s and often takes place near October 18, the feast day of St. Luke the Evangelist, the patron saint of physicians and surgeons.

Please join us on Sunday, October 16 at 11:30 am, in honouring the gifts, talents, and vocation of healthcare professionals and students as they live out their faith in their work, and support them spiritually as we call to mind in their ministry of care.
