California Catholic bishops

California Catholic bishops are senior leaders of the Catholic Church in California, responsible for guiding and overseeing local dioceses. They provide spiritual leadership, ensure adherence to Church teachings, and support clergy and laity. Bishops also work on social issues, promote community service, and represent the Church in public matters. Appointed by the Pope, they serve as both spiritual shepherds and administrators, fostering faith growth, moral integrity, and social justice within their dioceses across California.
