The CBCMSB was formally constituted to enable the bishops of the region to "exercise jointly the pastoral office by way of promoting the greater good which the Church offers mankind, especially through forms and programs of the apostolate which are fittingly adapted to the circumstances of age". This mandate reflects the commitment of the bishops to foster a spirit of communion and co-responsibility, allowing them to address matters of common concern and to pursue coordinated policies in their pastoral duties. The conference also seeks to establish and maintain relations with other bishops' conferences, thereby aligning its efforts with the broader Catholic Church.
Structure and governance
The governance of the CBCMSB is centered around its executive body, which includes the President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Executive Secretary. These office bearers are elected for a term of two years, which is renewable, with the exception of the Executive Secretary, who holds a permanent position.
The following is the organisational structure of the CBCMSB for the term 2023 to 2025.[1]
Additionally, the CBCMSB oversees 15 Regional Episcopal Commissions, each headed by a Bishop President, who are responsible for various areas of church ministry and governance.
