Established as a foundation in 1969, it was transformed into a commission by the Swiss Bishops' Conference in 1973, after the financial structures, among other things, had been clarified. In 2012, the Commission's secretariat was moved from Berne to Fribourg and placed under the full authority of the Swiss Bishops' Conference. Job scope 1x 80%. 2019 Celebration of the 50th anniversary.
