Episcopal Conference of the Dominican Republic

The Conference of the Dominican Episcopate (Spanish: Conferencia del Episcopado Dominicano, CED) is the body of the Catholic Church in the Dominican Republic. The first Episcopal National Commission of the Dominican Republic was established in 1954. Its name was changed to the Conferencia del Episcopado Dominicano on 22 September 1962, when the Holy See approved its statutes. The first plenary meeting of the CED met in 1963, and the episcopal commissions were created in 1966.
