Bishop Mario
Degree in History and Heritage at the University of Burgos, and Theology at the Pontifical Faculty of Theology in San Esteban de Salamanca.
Ordained a priest in a Franciscan community.
Received the Mandate as Bishop of England and Spain and consecrated at St. Ethelburga Centre for Reconciliation and Peace in London on 6 April 2024 by Archbishop Ronald Saunders.
I supervise priests and deacons in my area, and teach, govern and sanctify the faithful and other pastoral tasks. I provide a spiritual place for those who have been abandoned, where they can thrive and be nourished by the sacramental grace that Christ offers to all humanity, regardless of colour, language, sexual/gender identity, and social status.
I pray the Divine Office every day in my chapel of Saint Francis of Assisi, and use social media to share prayers.
I founded a new Franciscan community named Franciscan Community of the Spirit of Assisi. Please see my social links below.
Sundays broadcast live Holy Mass for those who cannot attend in person or contact for spiritual advise.
