Bishops of the Young Rite
In order to maintain the Apostolic Succession it is necessary that the Bishops of the Young Rite are properly consecrated into the Apostolic Succession. The consecration in itself is not sufficient, as to be a bishop of the Young Rite, a community needs to be served.

Only those who have been a celebrant for at least five years and serve a community (i.e. at least one circle) who meet at least once a month, with an average attendance of at minimum five people, will be considered for consecration to the Episcopacy.

Bishops who have previously been consecrated into the Apostolic Succession and wish to join the Young Rite are welcome to do so, if they subscribe to the Landmarks of the Young Rite. However, they will only be considered a bishop of the Young Rite once they too, serve a community that subscribes to the Landmarks of the Young Rite.

Curate bishop of the Young Rite
The Young Rite does not have a Presiding Bishop, only a Curate bishop, who coordinates international contacts and maintains the international web site for the Young Rite. The position for Curate bishop is currently vacant.

List of Bishops of the Young Rite
The bishops who are currently Bishops of the Young Rite are listed in the Official Documents.
