Eduardo Malaspina was auxiliary bishop in São Carlos
This Wednesday (28), Pope Francis appointed Father Eduardo Malaspina as new bishop of the diocese of Itapeva, in São Paulo. The site had been vacant since June when the then local leader, Arnando Cavalheiro Neto, was appointed to Jundiaí.
Born in Tabatinga, the religious studied Philosophy at the Diocesan Seminary of São Carlos and also Theology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas (PUC).
He also holds a degree in Communication Sciences from the Pontifical Salesian University in Rome, Italy, and in Journalism from the University of the Sacred Heart of Bauru. In addition, he holds a master’s degree in Pastoral Theology from the PUC of São Paulo.
Ordained a priest in 1991, Malaspina was auxiliary bishop of São Carlos, also in the state of São Paulo. He still holds the position of president of the Pastoral Sub-Region Campinas del Sud 1 of the National Confederation of Bishops of Brazil (CNBB).
In a note, the CNBB congratulated the religious for his new position and said he hoped “that in his new diocese he will be able to consolidate his emotional relationship with Jesus, helping him to overcome his doubts and fears in the mission”.
“Finally, in this Christmas season, may Jesus’ gaze reawaken your heart and commit you to building a more fraternal world.
With prayers for peace and well-being, we wish them success on their new journey.”
