The Life

José Eugenio Ramos Delgado was born on 28 October 1973 in Monclova, Coahuila. The Holy See bulletin prints 'Monclava,' a typographical error, and places the birth in the Diocese of Saltillo. He entered the Seminary of Monterrey in 1990, studying Humanities, Philosophy from 1991 to 1994, and Theology from 1994 to 1999. He was ordained a deacon on 22 August 1998 in the Basílica de Nuestra Señora del Roble, Monterrey, and a priest on 14 August 1999 in the Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, Monterrey, incardinated for Monterrey. He took the licentiate in spiritual theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome from 2009 to 2011. His priestly ordaining bishop is not stated in the opened sources, and his parents are not named in them, unlike the other auxiliaries profiled on the same archdiocesan page.

As a priest he served as parish vicar of the Parroquia del Rosario, Monterrey; as chaplain of the Misioneras de Jesús Sacerdote; as Director Espiritual, teacher, and Prefect of Apostolate at the Seminary of Monterrey in San Pedro Garza García; as Director Espiritual and Prefect of Apostolate of the introductory course; as coordinator of the propaedeutic stage; from January 2011, after returning from Rome, as auxiliary for spiritual direction in the philosophy stage; as parish priest of Santiago Apóstol, Santiago, Nuevo León, from 13 July 2013; as Episcopal Vicar of Pastoral Zone XI from 3 September 2018; as Rector of the Metropolitan Cathedral from 19 July 2020; as Director of the Escuela Bíblica Arquidiocesana from 1 January 2021; as parish priest of the Parish and Shrine of Nuestra Señora de Fátima, San Pedro Garza García, from 7 July 2023; and as Episcopal Vicar of Pastoral Zone V from 31 July 2023. The Holy See bulletin additionally names him rector and representative of the Antonio de Padua Ríos School. Pastoral Siglo 21 gives the Fátima appointment as 7 January 2023 and the Zone V appointment as 13 July 2023; the archdiocesan page's 7 July and 31 July 2023 govern, and the discrepancies are flagged, not merged. Pastoral Siglo 21 also calls the Gregorian degree a 'Maestría'; the bulletin and the archdiocesan page give the licentiate, which governs.

Pope Leo XIV appointed him Auxiliary Bishop of Monterrey on 6 December 2025, assigning him the titular see of Mattiana. At appointment he was Episcopal Vicar of the Fifth Pastoral Zone, parish priest of the Fátima shrine, and director of the Archdiocesan Biblical School. He received episcopal consecration on 19 March 2026, the solemnity of St Joseph, in the Basílica de Guadalupe, Monterrey. The date and venue are confirmed by the archdiocesan page, so the tenure no longer depends on the roster's GCatholic citation. His principal consecrator and co-consecrators are not established in the opened sources. He had no prior see: a priest of Monterrey throughout, Monterrey auxiliary is his first episcopal office. No CEM or conference role has been found. The Fátima parish site still lists his pre-episcopal offices and is stale since the consecration; it is not used as evidence of any current office.

In His Own Words

Dios no nos obliga, sino que nos propone un camino ... El cristiano viene a la iglesia para amar a Dios y sale de la iglesia para amar al prójimo ... Todos llevamos algo maravilloso en la fragilidad de nuestra vida, de nuestra existencia. Pero así nos ha elegido Dios

Homily, 8th day of the patronal novena (early October 2026, the novena preceding the 7 October feast), Parroquia de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, San Nicolás, reported by the Archdiocese of Monterrey. Three fragments, 48 words in total (10 + 19 + 19); the fourth quoted fragment in the report, on the feast itself (23 words), is omitted to stay within the 50-word-per-work cap. The report itself carries no date; the dating rests on the novena context and on the article addressing him as auxiliary bishop, that is, after his March 2026 consecration.

Dios nos invita a todos, a cada uno de nosotros, por medio de Jesús, al banquete eterno. Y sabemos que la Eucaristía que nos reúne frecuentemente en este templo es solamente una prefiguración, una probadita de lo que será el banquete del reino de los cielos

Homily, 5th day of the novena, Fiestas Patronales 2026, XXVIII Sunday in Ordinary Time, Parroquia San Gerardo María Mayela, reported by sangerardo.com.mx. 46 words. The closing commitment prayer from the same report (80 words) is omitted: it exceeds the 50-word-per-work cap on its own. San Gerardo's cell motto and the St Paul line quoted in the report are not his words and are not quoted.

What he inheritedNo provision for the 1962 Missal of his own is established in the record. As auxiliary bishop he does not promulgate diocesan liturgical provisions, which are the act of the diocesan bishop, Archbishop Rogelio Cabrera López, and no delegation to Ramos Delgado has been found. He was a priest from 16 July 2021 to 6 December 2025 and has been bishop only since 19 March 2026; nothing in the record shows him celebrating, authorising, restricting, or commenting on the 1962 Missal in either period.
