he United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is an
assembly of the hierarchy of the United States and the U.S. Virgin
Islands who jointly exercise certain pastoral functions on behalf of the
Christian faithful of the United States. The purpose of the Conference
is to promote the greater good which the Church offers humankind,
especially through forms and programs of the apostolate fittingly
adapted to the circumstances of time and place. This purpose is drawn
from the universal law of the Church and applies to the episcopal
conferences which are established all over the world for the same
purpose.

The bishops themselves constitute the membership of the Conference
and are served by a staff of approximately 315 lay people, priests,
deacons, and religious located at the Conference headquarters in
Washington, DC. There is also a small Office of Film and Broadcasting in
New York City and a branch office of Migration and Refugee Services in
Miami.https://www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/child-and-youth-protection/resources/upload/SCYP-Resource-Document.pdf

The Conference is organized as a corporation in the District of
Columbia. Its purposes under civil law are: “To unify, coordinate,
encourage, promote and carry on Catholic activities in the United
States; to organize and conduct religious, charitable and social welfare
work at home and abroad; to aid in education; to care for immigrants;
and generally to enter into and promote by education, publication and
direction the objects of its being.”
