How to Address a Bishop in the Catholic Church
In the Catholic Church, it is important to address bishops respectfully. The formal method is to use the title “Bishop” followed by their surname. For example, if the Bishop’s name is “John Smith,” he will be addressed as “Bishop Smith.” You may also address the Bishop as “Your Excellency” or “Your Grace.” It is considered polite to bow or curtsy when meeting a Bishop for the first time.
