Sister Nina Benedikta Krapić has received a significant appointment within the Vatican, having been named deputy director of the Vatican Press Office by Pope Lav XIV. This role marks a historic milestone as she becomes the second female figure to hold such a position in the Vatican. Krapić, who is affiliated with the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, has been an active communicator in both journalism and public relations, underlining the growing presence of women in significant positions within the Church's communication departments. Born on June 7, 1989, in Rijeka, Croatia, Krapić completed her law degree at the University of Rijeka in 2015 and further specialized in Public Relations at the University of Zagreb in 2023. Her commitment to service is reflected in her role as a journalist with various Catholic media outlets, including news radios and online portals, as well as her legal work at a shelter for women and children victims of domestic violence. Before moving to the Vatican, she also managed a transit point for migrants in Rijeka, showcasing her dedication to social issues. Krapić’s new role is not just a personal achievement but a representation of broader changes within the Vatican and the Catholic Church, highlighting the importance of diverse voices in its communication efforts. Given her background in journalism and social outreach, expectations for her contributions to the Vatican's public engagement strategies are high as she steps into this critical role on March 1.
