| Description |
The Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria, CBCN.
The Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria is an organ of unity, communion and solidarity for the over thirty million Catholics, spread across the thirty-six states and the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. It is the forum wherein the collegiality of Nigerian Bishops as successors of the Apostles in union with the Pope is expressed, and where the idea of Church as a family is witnessed to.
Through the Catholic Bishops Conference, the Cardinals, Archbishops, Bishops, and head of ecclesiastical jurisdictions – who as shepherds of souls pray, study and work together, and with the bond of unity created by the Conference – can speak with one voice as they spearhead the teaching, prophetic and pastoral ministry of the Catholic Church in Nigeria.
