Roman Catholic Church in Cambodia

The Roman Catholic Church in Cambodia has been represented by an Apostolic Nunciature , a diplomatic mission of the Holy See , since 1999 . Salvatore Pennacchio has been the nuncio since 2003 .

The following administrative units have been set up in Cambodia:

• Battambang Apostolic Prefecture , founded in 1968
• Kompong-Cham Apostolic Prefecture , founded in 1968
• Apostolic Vicariate Phnom-Penh , founded 1850/1924

Most of the Christians in Cambodia are from Vietnam ; this leads to riots between Vietnamese and Cambodians again and again.
