The Catholic Church in Andorra is part of the worldwide Catholic Church, under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Rome.
There are over 60,000 Catholics in Andorra, over 90% of the total population, and the country forms part of the Spanish Diocese of Urgell, whose bishop is also one of the country's Co-Princes.[citation needed]
Organization[]
The country has never had a diocese and belongs to the Diocese of Urgell, whose bishop, together with the President of the French Republic, shares the role of head of state of the tiny country.
From a historical point of view Andorra was evangelized through the bishopric of Urgell, in the reign of St. Just, in the mid-sixth century.
The principality is divided into seven parishes: Canillo, Encamp, Ordino, La Massana, Andorra la Vella, Sant Julia de Loria and Escaldes-Engordany.
Apostolic Nunciature[]
The apostolic nunciature in Andorra was established on 16 June 1995.[1] The Apostolic Nuncio is also nuncio in Spain and lives in Madrid.
The current Apostolic Nuncio is the Archbishop , appointed by Pope Francis on 1 October 2019.
