The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is a national body composed of Catholic bishops from the United States and the U.S. Virgin Islands that coordinates pastoral activities for the Catholic faithful. Its work draws on the Gospel and Church teachings and is organized around three main mission goals. The three goals are to collaborate on pressing issues facing the Church and society, to maintain communion with the global Church under the Pope, and to support individual bishops in their local ministries. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the organization sits within the religious institutions sector and maintains a staff of hundreds. Its role includes developing programs and forms of apostolate aligned with contemporary needs to serve the wider purposes of the Church. In 2026, the USCCB participated in a collaborative discussion with Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and other partners to reflect on findings about deportations and the state of immigration enforcement.
