The Swiss Bishops are members of the Catholic Church's hierarchy in Switzerland. They oversee the spiritual and administrative needs of the Church in their respective dioceses. The Swiss Bishops' Conference, established in 1883, serves as a collective body that addresses national issues and promotes unity among the bishops. Each bishop is responsible for guiding their local communities, ensuring the teachings of the Catholic Church are upheld. They also engage in dialogue with other Christian denominations and religions, fostering ecumenism and interfaith relations within the diverse cultural landscape of Switzerland.
