The Catholic Physicians' Guild of Springfield is a local chapter of the 6000 member strong National Federation of Catholic Physicians' Guilds. Members are dedicated to the "Service of God and man". This goal is accomplished through prayer, serious examination of moral issues and camaraderie among guild members. Quarterly plenary dinner meetings feature distinguished speakers that address important moral issues.

The Springfield Guild has begun a Catholic Bible Study for Physicians, medical students, residents and allied health care professionals. The Gospel of St. Luke is being studied with weekly discussions on Thursday evenings from 7-8:30 PM at the home of Dr. Leonard Rybak, 2528 Argonne Avenue in Springfield. All students, residents, attending physicians, medical school faculty and allied health professionals are invited to participate, but the discussions will be focused on Catholic teachings and interpretations. The primary source will be the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, Gospel of Luke, Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition, with commentary and notes by Scott Hahn and Curtis Mitch. This Catholic Bible Study began on July 21, 2005 and will be held weekly until we have completed discussing the Gospel of St. Luke, the patron of physicians. Past Announcements.
