Vatican II: Home

The Second Vatican Council

50 years ago, from October 11, 1962 until December 8, 1965, over 2000 bishops, theologians, and lay participants from 116 countries gathered in St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.  This assembly was known as the Second Vatican Council.  Led by Popes John XXIII and Paul VI, what emerged was an intense examination of the voice and promptings of the Holy Spirit.  The 16 council documents are as relevant today as ever. 

This guide is intended to serve as a starting point for learning and research, providing links to materials regarding the Second Vatican Council and its legacy.
