Bishop Dominique Blanchet discusses the mission of the Mission de France

Bishop Dominique Blanchet discussed the specific mission of the Mission de France during an appearance on the program La vie des diocèses.

Bishop Blanchet has served as the prelate of the Mission de France since the summer of 2025 while continuing his role as the bishop of Créteil. The Mission de France is a territorial prelature based in Pontigny that operates without parishes. Instead, it sends teams of priests, deacons, and laypeople to work alongside those distant from the Church by sharing their professional lives.

The program featured reports on priests working in various trades and the formation of future priests at the Ivry-sur-Seine seminary. Bishop Blanchet addressed topics including lay formation, synodality, and theological research within the context of the prelature's mission to be present in secular environments.
