The Vatican Observatory Foundation has assembled a group of pre-eminent Catholic prelates to serve as Episcopal Advisors to the Foundation. They serve to provide advice about how the Foundation can best partner with Catholic dioceses as we plan our activities and communications.

 Cardinal Wuerl serves as the Chairman of this group.
