Biography[edit]
Early life[edit]
Ryan Jimenez was born in Dumaguete, Negros Oriental, Republic of the Philippines on December 18, 1971.[1] He attended high school at Saint Joseph Seminary in Sibulan, Negros Oriental (near Dumaguete).[1] After a teaching interlude, he enrolled at the San Jose Major Seminary on the campus of the Ateneo de Manila University, Loyola Heights, Quezon City,[2] where he studied philosophy.[1]
From 1995 to 1997, Jimenez taught at a small Catholic school, Eskuelan San Francisco de Borja, on the island of Rota in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This solidified his desire to become a priest for the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa, and he went on to the major seminary in Manila. Jimenez completed his priestly studies with a master's degree in 2003 at St. Patrick's Seminary in Menlo Park, California.[1]
On June 8, 2003, Jimenez was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa by Bishop Tomas Aguon Camacho on Saipan.[1]
Bishop of Chalan Kanoa[edit]
Pope Francis appointed Jimenez as bishop for the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa on June 24, 2016.[3] On August 14, 2016, he was consecrated as a bishop by Archbishop Savio Tai Fai Hon.[4]
