Officials named for Vatican economic offices

April 14, 2015

Pope Francis has named Msgr. Luigi Mistò, 62, as the secretary of the administrative section of the Secretariat for the Economy.

Msgr. Mistò will assist Cardinal George Pell, the secretariat’s prefect, in his personnel and budgetary oversight of the Vatican’s dicasteries.

In 2011, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Msgr. Mistò the secretary of the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See (APSA), whose purview has been reduced since 2014 to acting “as a guardian for moveable goods entrusted to it by other institutes of the Holy See,” in the words of the 1988 apostolic constitution on the Curia.

Pope Francis also appointed Msgr. Mauro Rivella, 51, a priest of the Archdiocese of Turin, as APSA's new secretary.
