NCCB (National Conference of Catholic Bishops)

The National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) was a body of bishops in the United States that provided a forum for discussing and addressing issues facing the Catholic Church and society. Established in 1966, it focused on pastoral concerns, social justice, and liturgical practices among other topics. In 2001, the NCCB was renamed the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). The conference plays a vital role in guiding the Church's response to contemporary moral and social issues, fostering unity among bishops, and enhancing the Church's mission in America.
