The Congregation of Bishops is the supreme authority of the church. Members of the Congregation are Diocesan Bishops, those bishops who are retired from regular ministry, the rector of our seminary, Saint Wolbodo, and the superiors of our different religious orders.
Meeting yearly, the members of the Congregation approve goals, ministries, the annual budget, the ordination of candidates for the priesthood and diaconate, social justice positions, educational and theological papers, and identify priorities for the church to work on in the coming year.
Between each annual meeting, the Congregation of Bishops meets regularly via conference call and on the internet.
