Born in Croatia in 1989, Sister Krapić earned her law degree in 2015 and led the communications office of the Archdiocese of Rijeka. In 2023, she professed her vows as a Sister of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul and began to work in the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication.

Sister Krapić will assume her new position on March 1. The director of the Holy See Press Office is Matteo Bruni; the office is part of the Dicastery for Communication. Reacting to the appointment, the dicastery’s prefect, Paolo Ruffini, praised Murray’s “dedication and professionalism” and Sister Krapić’s “great professional and human qualities.”

“More than 80 people have been killed, many more injured, over 200 communities and churches destroyed, and more than 90,000 Christians have been forced to leave their homes,” said Father James Yaro of the Diocese of Wukari. “They have also committed countless atrocities, including rape, and sometimes they block roads and kill innocent farmers.”

“I fully support Bishop Kevin Rhoades in his challenge to Notre Dame to rectify its poor judgement in hiring a professor who openly stands against Catholic teaching when it comes to the sanctity of life, in this case protection of the unborn,” Archbishop Paul Coakley of Oklahoma City, the president of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, said on February 13.

“It is from the Eucharist and from prayer that our work of evangelization flows, for evangelization is a call to a relationship, the relationship with the person of Jesus Christ,” Archbishop Moth preached. “The seventy-two had walked with Jesus, sat with Him, listened to Him. We must, therefore, walk with Jesus on the journey of prayer, listen to Him in the Scriptures, sit with Him in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, welcome Him in the Eucharist.”

Archbishop Moth, 67, was formerly bishop of Arundel and Brighton (2015–25). He succeeds Cardinal Vincent Nichols, 80, who had governed the see since 2009.
