Pope Francis has appointed Archbishop Christophe Pierre as apostolic nuncio to the United States of America.

Archbishop Pierre succeeds Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, who has served in the position since 2011 and reached the retirement age of 75 in January.

Born in France in 1946, Archbishop Pierre was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Rennes in 1970. He has served as apostolic nuncio to Haiti (1995-99), Uganda (1999-2007), and Mexico (2007-16).
