Apostolic Nunciature to Senegal
The Apostolic Nunciature to Senegal is the diplomatic mission of the Holy See to Senegal. The Apostolic Nuncio to Senegal is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Senegal, with the rank of an ambassador. The nuncio serves both as the ambassador of the Holy See to the Republic of Senegal and as the point-of-contact between the Catholic hierarchy in Senegal and the pope.
On 9 July 1959, Jean-Marie Maury was named Apostolic Delegate to Dakar,[1] a jurisdiction established in 1948 to provide representation of the Holy See in French colonial Africa. The title of that position changed to Apostolic Delegate to Western Africa on 23 September 1960 with responsibility for Senegal, Upper Volta, Cote d'Ivoire, Dahomey, Guinea, Mauritania, Niger, Sudan, Togo, Ghana, Gambia, and Sierra Leone.[2] He continued to hold that delegate's title when given his new position for Senegal on 28 December 1961.[3]
