The Austrian Bishops are the leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Austria. They oversee the spiritual and administrative needs of the Church in the country, guiding local parishes and communities. The bishops are part of the Austrian Bishops' Conference, which addresses national issues and represents the Church in discussions with the government and society. Each bishop is responsible for a specific diocese, which is a district under the pastoral care of a bishop. The bishops work to promote the teachings of the Catholic Church and engage in various social and charitable activities to support the community.
