Archbishop of Bangalore Bernard Moras is expected to chair the meeting attended by Bishop Peter Machado (Belgaum), Bishop Derek Fernandes (Karwar), Bishop Henry D'Souza (Bellary), Bishop Robert Miranda (Gulbarga), Bishop Gerald Lobo (Shimoga).

Representatives of Caritas India and other aid agencies are also expected to attend the meeting.
