General Body Meeting

Ordinary General Body Meetings of the Conference are held every two years, while Extraordinary General Body Meetings are held according to need. At the General Body Meeting, the Conference reviews the situation and assesses the progress of the Church in India, and, in the light of its own purposes, decides on plans that may be necessary, and action that may be called for.
At such Meetings, the Reports of various Offices, Councils, National Centres/Institutes and Regional Bishops' Councils are submitted. While the Report of the Secretary General is published along with the Report of the General Body Meeting of the CBCI, the Biennial Reports of the CBCI Offices, Councils, National Centres/Institutes and Regional Bishops' Councils are printed separately just before the Meeting.
