Montse Alvarado prepares to step into Vatican communications prefect role Nov. 1
Alvarado will oversee the Vatican’s media network as the first laywoman to lead the communications dicastery, a role Pope Leo XIV said fits the digital era.
The Holy See's Dicastery for Communication's incoming prefect called her new role "a privilege and honor" and "a great adventure" just days before it was to begin Nov. 1. Pope Leo XIV appointed Maria Montserrat "Montse" Alvarado, then EWTN News' president and COO, to the position June 2.
