Marie-Christine Ries

Marie-Christine Ries is a former pastoral referent and bischöfliche Delegierte who devoted years to community service before retiring in May. She studied theology in Belgium and is known for her warm and approachable demeanor, which she believes will resonate with the new Grand Duchess Stéphanie. Ries appreciates Stéphanie's kindness and her ability to connect with people, as seen during public events. She recognizes that the role of a Grand Duchess is to foster unity among the population and sees Stéphanie's religious background as a source of strength and inspiration for her future responsibilities.
