Where do I write? — Vatican Mailing Addresses

A small note from the AskACatholic.com Web Admin., Mike Humphrey.

Over the many years we have been doing this apostolate, I have received many e-mails from AAC questioners who want to know the contact information for the Pope, the Vatican or other Vatican officials.

That said, I have no communication with either the Holy Father or any Vatican officials.

After spending a few minutes searching for his e-mail address, most websites agreed that he, and probably future popes, don't have a public e-mail address but a private one. That said, in my opinion, chances of anyone finding his private e-mail address are pretty low.

The best solution I can offer is for you to use the postal addresses and phone and fax numbers (below) which may or may not work.

I'm sorry for this inconvenience.

Mike

If a creditable Vatican insider/visitor can confirm this information or send me further valid contact information for contacting the Holy Father or one of his (Cardinal|Bishop associates) in the Vatican Press Office or another dicastery for Social Communication whether by phone, e-mail, or fax, it would be appreciated.

This page is one of the most visited pages on my site and, if possible, I would like to have good contact information. I can be reached here: mike.hump@comcast.net.

For those visiting this page please keep me in your prayers as I am financially poor.

Papal Phone and Fax information and other helpful information shared by visitors:

The Vatican Press Office is considered the official means of e-mail contact for the Holy Father.

phone: +390669881022
fax: +00390669882417

An e-mail from a visitor that you can reach him.

An e-mail from a visitor who faxed the Holy Father.

Press Office Mailing Address where incoming calls/faxes are received:

Pontificio Consiglio delle Comunicazioni Sociali
Palazzo San Carlo - 00120 Città del Vaticano

IMPORTANT: When sending mail to the Holy Father do not place the word Italy on the envelope.

The Vatican is an independent nation and Italy's mail system routinely mis-routes mail addressed
to the nation of Vaticano. Just thought you would like to know this.

I just called the Vatican Switchboard and the fax number they gave me to send a fax to His Holiness, Pope Francis is: 00390669882417. I don't know if this is an update for you or what. I hope this is helpful.

I also learned at the Post Office that in order to send a letter to the Holy Father via Global Express Guaranteed which goes through Fed Ex Express, you need a phone number for someone where the letter is sent. It was going to cost around $65.00. Whoever I spoke with at the Vatican said it is best to send the fax.

Thank you for your website. It is very helpful.

From another Catholic. God bless you!
