The Arucian Episcopal Conference (Gaullican: Conférence Épiscopale Arucien), also known as the CEA, is the episcopal conference of Solarian Catholic Church in Carucere, Imagua and the Assimas, and Sainte-Chloé. It is comprised of all current and emeritus ordinaries of those countries, and serves as a meeting body for the bishops of the region to address spiritual and political needs and representation of the church.
With the founding of the United Provinces in 1945, the Catholic bishops, after the models of other countries, formed the unofficial "Association of Arucian Bishops" to represent the Church in the new federated state. This organisation also included bishops from Bonaventure, and was much less formal. In the 1959, after it gained independence, Bonaventure formed its own episcopal organsiation.
