Latin American Bishops' Conference

The Latin American Bishops' Conference (CELAM) is a gathering of Catholic bishops from Latin American countries, organized to discuss regional church issues, promote spiritual growth, and coordinate social and pastoral efforts. It provides a platform for bishops to collaborate on addressing challenges like poverty, social justice, and evangelization, ensuring the Church's mission aligns with regional needs. CELAM also influences Catholic practices and policies across Latin America, fostering unity among faithful and supporting the Church’s role in societal development.
