Biography

Early life

Enrique Delgado was born on December 26, 1955, in Lima, Peru. As a child, he was an altar server, then a catechist. He attended the University of Lima in Lima, Peru, receiving a Master of Arts in economics. After his graduation, Delgado worked for several years managing a company with 150 employees in Peru.[1]

During an international business trip in 1989, he made a stopover in Miami and spent a night at Saint John Vianney Seminary in Boynton Beach, Florida. While in Tokyo attending mass in the chapel at Sophia University, he decided to enter the priesthood.[2][1][3]

Delgado immigrated to the United States in 1991 to enter St. John Vianney. He received a Master of Theology degree from the St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach in 1995 and a Master of Divinity degree in 1996.[2][3]

Priesthood

On June 29, 1996, Delgado was ordained to the priesthood in Peru for the Archdiocese of Miami by Auxiliary Bishop Agustín Román.[4]

After his 1996 ordination, the archdiocese assigned Delgado as parochial vicar at St. Agnes Parish in Key Biscayne, Florida. He was transferred in 1999 to Nativity Catholic Parish in Hollywood, Florida, to serve as parochial vicar there. In 1999, Delgado was named pastor of St. Justin the Martyr Catholic Parish in Key Largo, Florida.[2] After four years at St. Justin, the archdiocese moved him to St. Katharine Drexel Parish in Weston, Florida, to be its pastor.[2]

Delgado received a Doctor of Practical Theology degree on December 19, 2015, from St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens, Florida.[2]

Auxiliary Bishop of Miami

Pope Francis appointed Delgado as an auxiliary bishop of Miami on October 12, 2017.[2][1] On December 7, 2017, Delgado was consecrated as a bishop by Archbishop Thomas Wenski, with Bishops Felipe de Jesús Estévez and John Gerard Noonan serving as co-consecrators.[4]
