Pope Leo XIV has appointed Maria Montserrat Alvarado, President and Chief Operating Officer of EWTN News, as Prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for Communication. The appointment will take effect Nov. 5, 2026.

Since 2023, Alvarado has overseen EWTN News’ global and multilingual news operations across television, radio, print, digital, and social media platforms. During her tenure, she helped expand the network’s international news presence and deepen collaboration across its multilingual platforms.

“Montse’s background in international media, public affairs, and Church engagement has helped shape EWTN’s outreach at a critical moment in the history of our apostolate: the pivot into a deeper engagement with the digital space,” said Michael P. Warsaw, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of EWTN. “Just as importantly, she has remained deeply committed to the mission that defines EWTN: proclaiming the truth of Jesus Christ and the teachings of His Church with clarity, fidelity, and charity.”

Before joining EWTN, Alvarado spent 14 years in leadership roles at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, where she worked extensively on issues related to religious freedom and human dignity.

In a statement released following the appointment, Alvarado said she received the news “with deep gratitude, humility, and trust in the Lord,” adding that the faithful witness of the EWTN family strengthened her faith.

The Dicastery for Communication was established by Pope Francis in 2015 as part of his reform of the Roman Curia, bringing together the Holy See’s various communications entities, including Vatican News, Vatican Radio, L’Osservatore Romano, Vatican Media, the Vatican Publishing house and printing press, Filmoteca Vaticana, and the Holy See Press Office. Appointed for a five year term, the Prefect is responsible for overseeing the entire media network of the Holy See.

Alvarado succeeds Paolo Ruffini, whom Pope Francis appointed in 2018 as the first lay prefect of a dicastery in the Roman Curia. Ruffini said he had come to know Alvarado “over the last couple of years” and will work closely with her in the coming months “in the spirit of communion that unites us in the Church.”

In recent years, Pope Francis entrusted a growing number of leadership roles in the Vatican to lay men and women, including several senior appointments for women religious. Alvarado’s appointment continues that development and marks the first time a woman who has not taken religious vows as a nun or a sister has been appointed to lead a dicastery of the Holy See.

Born in Mexico City, Alvarado earned academic degrees from Florida International University and George Washington University. She has received several national recognitions for her commitment to religious freedom and service to the Church, and her writings and commentary have appeared in a range of international media outlets.

While noting that EWTN would miss Alvarado’s leadership, Warsaw said the network rejoices in her new mission of service to the universal Church.

“We offer her our prayers, our encouragement, and the full support of the EWTN family as she begins this important mission in service to Pope Leo XIV and his pontificate.”

With the focus on #Venezuela and Maduro and #Cuba ,Co-Presidents Daniel Ortega and his wife, Rosario Murillo, cannot be allowed to continue their reign of terror in #Nicaragua.

These people are evil.

🚨SHAME ON YOU🚨

@RecordingAcad Grammy winning artist is in jail in #Cuba for the writing/performing the song that won him the award.

Where is the international artist community? Why is no one speaking up?

Throughout history artists using their platforms to shine light on issues.

Bob Geldof raising awareness and funds for the famine relief. @StevieVanZandt speaking out against apartheid and so many others.

How I wish someone would step up and speak out for @MaykelOsorbo349

[Freedom House @freedomhouse]

Must read in @WSJ: The stories of Cuban political prisoners Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara and Maykel “Osorbo” Castillo underscore the Cuban regime’s ongoing assault on freedom of expression. Freedom House is proud to support both artists through our #FreeThemAll program and continues to call for their immediate release.

@Adita_Ferrer allow me to strongly disagree.

In Miami we demonize communism WE DONT DEMONIZE the people who suffer because of it.

Miami is welcoming to all those that, throughout 67 years, have sought refuge from that brutal regime.

Short of going to #Cuba, Miami is the one place where you can talk to people who have been oppressed by the Castro regime. Here they can do so without the fear of persecution.

As for @SecRubio , he has spoken to many of them, he has lived next to them and he completely understands what the people of Cuba live on a daily basis.

I would venture to say that living in Miami he has interacted with more recently arrived Cubans than you have in your “academic” trips to the island or in your daily living in Princeton.

The “he hasn’t been to Cuba” line sounds like @BrunoRguezP “he wasn’t born in Cuba.” Like that somehow disqualifies him.

Finally, your use of “in Miami” is code among many liberals to take a shot at the anti Castro Cuban exile community. Shame on you if that’s what you intended.

The people of #Cuba take to the streets chanting “down with communism” and “freedom”. These are not anti American chants these are cries for regime change.

They know what needs to happen for them to have a brighter future full of freedom and prosperity.

🚨FREE SPEECH🚨

@lianystr for 67 years the regime in #Cuba has oppressed and jailed anyone who has dared to express their opinions and publicly protest.

Many of those that have had the courage to express their opinions have ended up as one of the 1000+ political prisoners in your jails.

By the way there was a handful of people at this “rally” or as some would say “4 gatos”.

#HumanRights #FreeSpeech

[Lianys Torres Rivera @lianystr]

Today, Cubans rallied in Miami against the maximum pressure policy and a US military aggression against Cuba. The participants defended peace and the right of the Cuban people to decide our own destiny.

[Julio Rebull @JGRebull]

Protests tonight, again, in #Cuba but the stark reality is that the banging of the pots and pans is admirable but the people don’t stand a chance against the organized and armed repression of the Castro regime.

They want freedom but they need help.

Communists don’t cede power without a fight.

[Julio Rebull @JGRebull]

A legitimate and credible conversation about #Cuba After Castro cannot include @DiazCanelB.

It is well documented that Diaz Canel is a hand picked puppet of Raul Castro and is responsible for the oppression and suffering of the Cuban people.

The future of Cuba cannot be in the hands of the current regime it belongs to the people of Cuba. They must be allowed to elect their leaders through free, fair and supervised elections.

Call this conference Diaz Canel: The continuation of Castro in Cuba.

🚨CUBA: ATTEND OR ELSE🚨

A leaked voicemail from #Cuba proves, once again, what has been well documented for many years.

If you live in Cuba, you must attend the rallies organized by the Castro #Communist regime or you risk losing your job, home or freedom.

So when you see those anti-American rallies in #Havana keep this in mind.

The step son of the “President” of #Cuba @DiazCanelB buys a $3 million mansion in #Spain.

The people of Cuba live in misery and the ruling elite lives large.

The prototypical hypocrisy of #communism.

It is amazing that anyone wants to defend this brutal regime who doesn’t give a damn about the wellbeing of its people.
