CCEE 2011 Plenary Assembly


Tirana, Albania, 29 September - 2 October 2011

The election of the new CCEE Presidency and the New Evangelisation of Europe will be at the centre of the work of the Plenary Assembly of the Presidents of Europe’s Bishops’ Conferences, which will take place for the first time in Albania, in Tirana, from 29 September to 2 October 2011.

The next Plenary Assembly of the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences (CCEE) will take place, from Thursday 29 September to Sunday 2 October in Tirana (Albania), at the invitation of the Metropolitan Archbishop of Tirana and President of the Albanian Bishops’ Conference, Mgr Rrok Mirdita. Following the historic visit of Blessed John Paul II in 1993, the CCEE meeting will be, according to the local Church, the most important church event in recent years for Albania, due to the number of Cardinals and Bishops who will be participating. Confirmation of the importance the meeting holds for the country is shown by the desire of the President of the Republic of Albania, Mr Bamir Myrteza Topi, to meet the European prelates on Friday 30 September and the announced presence of the Prime Minister, Mr Sali Ram Berisha, at the opening of the meeting on 29 September.
