U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is a vital assembly of bishops, representing the Catholic community in the U.S. and the Virgin Islands. Established in 2001, the USCCB builds upon the foundational work of its predecessor councils, focusing on pastoral care and the promotion of Catholic values. Its mission centers on evangelization, education, and social welfare, aiming to unify and coordinate efforts among Catholics nationwide.

The USCCB actively engages in various initiatives, including religious, charitable, and educational programs. It offers resources for spiritual growth such as the celebration of the Eucharist, Sacraments, and tools for understanding the Bible. The organization also addresses societal issues, advocating for the common good and supporting immigrants and vulnerable communities.

Through its committees, led by bishops and inclusive of laypersons, the USCCB promotes collaborative action on crucial issues facing the Church and society, fostering communion both nationally and globally under the guidance of the Roman Pontiff.
