Diocèse de Thiès : le pape Léon XIV nomme Mgr Martin Boucar Tine nouvel évêque
The diocese of Thiès is experiencing a new turning point in its history. After several months of vacancy in the episcopal see, Pope Leo XIV has appointed Bishop Martin Boucar Tine, until now Bishop of Kaolack, to head the diocese of Thiès.
The announcement was made this Thursday, November 12, 2026, by the Apostolic Nunciature in Senegal. This appointment ends a period of uncertainty during which the diocese was under the administration of Bishop Albert Sène, serving as diocesan administrator.
Former Bishop of Kaolack, Bishop Martin Boucar Tine brings episcopal experience to his new role. He will now be responsible for leading the pastoral mission of the Diocese of Thiès, continuing the work of his predecessors.
Its official installation is scheduled for Saturday, December 19, 2026 at the Sainte-Anne Cathedral in Thiès.
However, the prelate will continue, in the meantime, to serve as apostolic administrator of the diocese of Kaolack, pending the appointment of his successor and the canonical taking of possession of the latter.
With this appointment, a new chapter opens for the Catholic Church in the diocese of Thiès, called upon to continue its pastoral mission under the leadership of its new pastor.
