Plenary Council

A Plenary Council is a major gathering of bishops and church leaders within a country or region to discuss and decide on important matters affecting the church community. It provides an opportunity to reflect on spiritual, pastoral, and organizational issues, and to plan how the church can better serve its members. Decisions made at a Plenary Council are significant for guiding church practices, policies, and priorities locally. It’s a collaborative process aimed at fostering unity and addressing contemporary challenges faced by the church and its followers.
