The Apostolic Delegation to the Pacific Ocean is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church.
It represents the interests of the Holy See in a defined region in countries with which diplomatic relations have not yet been established.
It is led by a Delegate who holds a number of other titles within the diplomatic service of the Holy See, including that of Apostolic Nuncio to New Zealand.
The Holy See changed the name of the delegation responsibility for Australia and much of the Pacific several times.
[3] Since then the Holy See has established nunciatures in several countries in the region, reducing the responsibilities of the Delegation to the Pacific Ocean.
