Canadian Catholic bishops

Canadian Catholic bishops are ordained leaders responsible for guiding and overseeing the spiritual and administrative needs of Catholic communities across Canada's dioceses. They serve as pastoral leaders, teachers, and shepherds, ensuring Church doctrines and teachings are upheld. Bishops collaborate with priests and laity to promote faith, social justice, and community outreach. Appointed by the Pope, they hold authority within their dioceses and represent the Church publicly. Their role balances spiritual leadership with organizational responsibilities, fostering faith development and addressing societal issues in alignment with Catholic doctrine.
