Asamblea de Basilicas

The Asamblea de Basílicas refers to the gathering of bishops and church leaders in the Latin American and Caribbean region, focusing on issues related to faith, society, and justice, particularly concerning the needs of the poor and marginalized. It emerged from the Second Vatican Council’s call for a more active church engagement in social issues. The assembly seeks to promote dialogue, solidarity, and action based on Christian values, addressing topics like poverty, human rights, and environmental concerns, ultimately guiding the church’s mission in these regions.
