During the fall 2015 Plenary Assembly of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB), Crosby was elected president-elect of the conference and took office at the end of the fall Plenary Assembly. At that time, Bishop Crosby succeeded the outgoing president, Archbishop Paul-André Durocher, of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Gatineau, in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. Bishop Crosby is a member of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, though as a bishop his immediate superior is now the Pope. His two-year term as president of the conference ended in 2017, with the election of Bishop Lionel Gendron of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Saint-Jean-Longueuil in Longueuil, Quebec as president.
