Fr. Jairo Maldonado
"On Saturday, June 6, 2020, Bishop Luis Zarama ordained two men to the priesthood; Fr. Jairo Maldonado and Fr. Matthew Nwafor. Fr. Jairo celebrated his First Mass that same afternoon at Our Lady of Lourdes, and our parish welcomed him with a reception afterwards.
Fr. Jairo is well known to the community of Our Lady of Lourdes - he was assigned to our parish last summer and during those two months, served at Mass, ministered to the sick and homebound, and taught an adult education class on the Psalms.
A native of Columbia, Fr. Jairo has made NC his home. He has been assigned to serve the community of St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Raleigh beginning in September.
Dios te bendiga, Fr. Jairo!" from Joan Rose Brown
