Bishop's Conference

A bishop's conference is a formal gathering of bishops from the same country or region within the Catholic Church. They meet regularly to discuss and coordinate issues like church teachings, community outreach, social justice, and pastoral strategies. While they do not have direct authority over the global Church, their decisions influence how the church operates locally and nationally. The conference helps bishops work together to serve their communities more effectively and presents unified guidance on important societal and moral questions, ensuring that church policies align with local needs while respecting universal principles.
