The NBCC mission is to improve and enrich the lives of African-American Catholics, operating in close cooperation and coordination with the Black Bishops of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)[1] and receiving funding from the Black and Indian mission collection.[2]

Six NBCC congresses have been held, occurring every five years.[3]
