Vatican News online - Television live

Vatican News Live Stream

Vatican News is the official media service of the Holy See, run by the Dicastery for Communication, carrying the life of the Vatican and the Catholic Church to audiences worldwide.

The Holy See's newsroom

The service carries papal audiences, Masses and the Sunday Angelus, news from the Vatican and the global church, coverage of papal journeys, and reporting in more than thirty languages. It publishes text, audio and video through the same newsroom, which is the model the Holy See adopted when it reorganised its media.

One newsroom for the Vatican

Vatican News was created in 2017, when the Dicastery for Communication brought the Holy See's radio, television, press and online operations together under one structure. Vatican Radio, on air since 1931, and the Vatican Television Centre became parts of a single multilingual service.

Reporting to 1.3 billion Catholics

The church has about 1.3 billion members and its news reaches dioceses, religious orders and parishes on every continent. That audience explains why the service invests in translation rather than in production: the same report appears in Swahili, Tagalog, Ukrainian and Portuguese within hours.

Distribution

The service publishes through its own multilingual portal and video platforms, reaching diocesan media that reproduce its material locally.
