College of Bishops

 

          It is the duty of the College of Bishops to govern the Catholic Apostolic Church in North America (CACINA) in national and inter-diocesan matters and liturgical, doctrinal, and Sacramental matters.  The College of Bishops is directed by the Presiding Bishop, the Most Reverend Anthony F. Santore, FCR.  The College of Bishops acts as the Synod of Bishops of CACINA when convened in Plenary Council of the General Assembly.  For detailed information concerning the College of Bishops, see the Apostolic Succession and the Code of Canons.

 

 

General Assembly

    The General Assembly is the plenary assembly of the People of God of CACINA meeting in council to legislate for the Church on the national level.  The General Assembly consists of the House of Delegates and the Synod of Bishops.  The General Assembly meets annually, usually in the spring.  For detailed information concerning the General Assembly, see the Code of Canons.
