The work seeks to understand the christological aspects written in Aparecida based on descriptions of the Latin American Church and Caribbean conceived at the Conference. Expanding awareness of the relationship between christology and ecclesiology, the work aimed to deepen the understanding of Jesus Christ from the perception of the reality of Latin America and the Caribbean using bibliographical research, in addition to consulting articles and interviews.

Finally, the work, with the result obtained, investigated the same christology of Aparecida in the results of the First Ecclesial Assembly of Latin America and the Caribbea
