Plenary Assembly (List)

Plenary Assembly

The Bishops of the Latin Catholic Church in India are the members of the Plenary Assembly of the Conference. Ordinary Plenary Assembly of the Conference is held every year. Extraordinary Plenary Assemblies are held according to the need decided by at least a two-third of the members of the Executive Committee.

At the Plenary Assembly the Conference reviews the situation and assesses the progress of the Church in India, and in the light of its own purposes it decides on plans that may be necessary and actions that may be called for.

At such meetings the Plenary Assembly reflects upon important issues affecting the Christian faithful and the society at large. Reports of the various proceedings of the Plenary Assembly and reports of the Secretary General are published every year. The reports of the Commissions normally find place in the agenda booklet of the Plenary Assembly or they are printed in a separate booklet.
