“It was the 1st of July 2016 when I received the communication of the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, that Pope Francis had approved my appointment to the Apostolic Nunciature in Ukraine….. The main duty of a Nunciature is to keep and enhance the ties between the Pope and both the local Church and the government. The Nunciature in Ukraine has that role“. (words of Msgr Joseph Grech)
