The Continental Phase for North America will be a collaboration of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB). While geographically part of North America, given their long history of partnership and ongoing work of the different Encuentros, Mexico will participate in the Continental Phase through the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM).

The North American Continental Phase of the Synod has been planned in conjunction with representatives from USCCB & CCCB. Ten (10) Virtual Assemblies reflecting on the Document for the Continental Stage will take place in late 2022 and early 2023, including five (5) in English, three (3) in Spanish, and two (2) in French. Each bishop has nominated three to five delegates to participate in these  Virtual Assemblies. Every North American Bishop is invited and encouraged to attend a virtual assembly of their choosing.

The North American Writing team, consisting of representatives from both the U.S. and Canadian Synod teams, will gather in early February 2023 for a writing retreat to compose a Continental Synthesis that will be submitted to the Secretariat for the Synod on March 31, 2023.
