Hungarian Catholic Bishops' Conference (HCBC) (in Hungarian: Magyar Katolikus Püspöki Konferencia) is the Episcopal Conference of Catholic bishops of Hungary.
The Bishops' Conference
After the Second Vatican Council the Hungarian Catholic Bishops' Conference was created. Its first chairman was Archbishop of Kalocsa-Kecskemét Endre Hamvash.[1] On May 5, 2001, the Holy See approved the Charter of the Conference of the Catholic Bishops of Hungary.[2] Currently, it is headed by Bishop András Veres.
The Hungarian Conference of Catholic Bishops is a full member of the Council of Conferences of Catholic Bishops of Europe and the Council of Conferences of Catholic Bishops of the European Union.
