Luis Zarama
Résumé
Luis Rafael Zarama Pasqualetto (born November 28, 1958) is a Colombian-born American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who has been serving as the bishop of the Diocese of Raleigh in North Carolina since 2017. He previously served as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Atlanta from 2009 to 2017
Zarama is the first Hispanic and Latino bishop of the Diocese of Raleigh, the first bishop of Raleigh to have been born outside the United States, and the first Colombian to lead a Catholic diocese in the United States.
Luis Zarama was born on November 28, 1958, in Pasto, Nariño, Colombia, the oldest of the six children of Rafael Zarama and Maria Pasqualetto de Zarama. Zarama attended the seminary of Pasto and the Universidad Mariana in Pasto, where he studied philosophy and theology from 1982 to 1987. He began his studies in canon law at the Pontifical Xavierian University in Bogotá in 1987, and earned his licentiate in 1991. In the mid-1980s, while attending seminary, Zarama also taught at local high schools.
Emigrating to the United States in 1989, Zarama was ordained into the priesthood by Archbishop John Donoghue for the Archdiocese of Atlanta on November 27, 1993.
Zarama then served as parochial vicar at Sacred Heart Parish in Atlanta until 1996. From 1996 to 2006, he was administrator of St. Helena Mission in Clayton, Georgia and the first Hispanic pastor of St. Mark Parish in Clarkesville, Georgia. Zarama became an American citizen on July 4, 2000, and said: "I'm happy here, I choose to be here, and I feel like I'm part of the system as a citizen." Within the Court of Appeals of the Ecclesiastical Province of Atlanta, he has been advocate (1993–1997) and defender of the bond (1997–present).
Zarama was named assistant director of the Vocations Office in 2000 and vicar general in 2006. He was also a member of the Committee for Continuing Education of Priests and the Priest Personnel Board. In 2007, Zarama was raised by the Vatican to the rank of chaplain of his holiness.
