The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) met in Baltimore this week for the annual Fall Plenary Assembly. The bishops approved three next liturgical texts, including approval of the revised New American Bible for liturgical use.
The bishops also voted to advance the causes for beatification and canonization for Sister Annella Zervas, a professed religious of the Order of Saint Benedict, and of the Servant of God Gertrude Agnes Barber, a lay woman.
During the assembly, the bishops elected Archbishop Bernard Hebda of St. Paul and Minneapolis as treasurer-elect of the USCCB and appointed new chairmen-elect for five USCCB standing committees.
