Apostolic Nunciature to Samoa

The Apostolic Nunciature to Samoa is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Samoa. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador. The title Apostolic Nuncio to Samoa is held by the prelate appointed Apostolic Nuncio to New Zealand; he resides in Wellington, New Zealand.

The Holy See and Samoa established diplomatic relations on 10 June 1994.[1] Before then, the Holy See was represented in Samoa by a series of delegations whose responsibilities for areas of the Pacific narrowed as the Holy See established diplomatic relations with countries in the region.
