Embassy Holy See

The Apostolic Nunciature in the United States serves as the diplomatic mission of the Holy See, representing the Pope and the Catholic Church's interests in the country. Established as an Apostolic Delegation in 1893 and elevated to Nunciature status in 1984, it plays a crucial role in fostering international peace and clarifying Church teachings through diplomatic initiatives.

The Holy See, recognized as an international juridical person, encompasses the office of the Pope and the various dicasteries that assist in the pastoral governance of the Catholic Church. Vatican City, a sovereign state within Rome, ensures the independence and freedom of the Holy See, while providing a unique context for visitors and pilgrims seeking to engage with its spiritual heritage.
