The Fides (Italian: Agenzia Fides ) is a missionary news agency of the Catholic Church . It was founded on June 5, 1927 as one of the first news agencies worldwide on the initiative of the Pontifical Work for the Propagation of the Faith . Its seat is in the Palazzo de Propaganda Fide in Vatican City . The current director is Professor Luca de Mata.
Its service is disseminated in Italian, Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, German, Chinese, and Arabic. The daily up to five current reports with photographs as well as an archive existing since 1997 consist mainly of news from non-European continents. The news is not only intended for publication in missionary magazines, but also for the non- missionary press worldwide.
