The USCCB will gather for the 2026 Spring Plenary Assembly in Orlando, Florida, on June 10-12.
The agenda will include Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City, who is set to deliver his first remarks as president of the USCCB. Archbishop Gabriele Giordano Caccia, nuncio to the United States, will also deliver his first address to the U.S. bishops since his appointment in March.
The bishops will consecrate the United States to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, 2026. The bishops hope the event encourages parishes and individuals to participate in America’s 250th anniversary by contributing to 250 hours of adoration and 250 works of mercy.
The bishops are expected to vote on a potential revision to the “Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People.” The USCCB has said the charter is in need of revisions to align with its original intention of safeguarding minors, the prevention of abuse, and ensuring structures continue to be in place to respond to abuse allegations.
