About Us

about us

Catholic Bishops Forum  

We are bishops of canonically and administratively independent Catholic Churches in the United States, whose jurisdictions can be traced to various local Churches that have preserved the essentials of the Catholic Church in a succession from the apostolic age. We have come together to support and encourage each other in building up the body of Christ.
