The 77th Annual Educational Conference of the Catholic Medical Association will take place October 9-11, 2008 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Hyatt Regency Hotel at the Inner Harbor will be the host facility.

The theme for this year’s conference is, “Theology of the Body: Modern Challenges to Health, Conscience and Human Development.” The conference will address issues of conscience formation and its difficulties, the raising of children, spiritual and emotional healing from abortion and addiction, accepting limitations on health and reproduction, and aging and sexuality issues faced by the senior community. All these topics will be addressed in the light of Pope John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.

But that’s not all. A special session will be organized for medical students and residents. The Keynote Address will be given by George Weigel, the official biographer of the life of Pope John Paul II. There will also be special sessions each day dedicated to issues of local culture, highlighting medicine and the Church in Baltimore.

The Annual White Mass will be celebrated in the recently restored Basilica of the National Shrine of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, preceded by a tour of this beautiful Basilica.
The location of the Annual Conference in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor will make for a very family friendly venue. An evening of family-friendly entertainment on the second day of the conference is in the works.

The conference will culminate Saturday evening with a reception and dinner featuring an outstanding guest speaker.
