Bishop-elect Felipe Pulido's Trip to America
Bishop-elect Pulido was born in a small town west of Mexico City and attended minor seminary in Uruapan, Michoacán from middle school until the beginning of high school. In 1988 Pulido and his family moved to Yakima, Washington where as a teenager he worked in the fields picking vegetables and fruit. Then after working as a teaching assistant at the Epic Migrant Head Start program in Yakima, Pulido decided to enter the seminary in 1994.
“Father Felipe is new to the San Diego area, but I have come to know him as a man of deep faith whose ministry has been an inspiration to the people in his home diocese of Yakima,” said McElroy. “More than half the parishioners in our diocese are Latino and having two men as gifted as Bishop Bejarano and Father Felipe can only improve our ability to minister to all Catholics in San Diego and Imperial counties," McElroy said.The location has not been determined yet.
The Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego serves more than 1.5 million Catholics in San Diego and Imperial counties.
