The Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales began its November plenary assembly with bishops gathered in Leeds, in the North East of England, for the four-day meeting. A number of subjects will be on the agenda for the bishops. Firstly, the planning and arrangements for 2020 as “The year of the God who speaks.” This is an initiative planned by the Bishops’ Conference with the aim of helping Catholics realize and rediscover a love for scripture and biblical studies.
The plenary session will also feature a report on “Adoremus,” the National Eucharistic Congress which was held in Liverpool during September and a feedback session following the Synod on Youth and Discernment which was held in October in the Vatican.
The Catholic Bishop’s conference of England and Wales holds two plenary sessions per year, one in November and a second in April. All men serving as Diocesan and Auxiliary Bishops are invited to attend the meetings and cast their votes in debates.
