Biography
Early life
Nunes was born in Inglewood, California, the oldest of four children born to immigrant parents from Hong Kong.[2][3] He attended elementary school at St. Joseph School in Placentia and Servite High School in Anaheim before earning a bachelor's degree in communications from Loyola Marymount University in 1986.[4] He then worked in print journalism for a number of years, including 12 years at Business Wire, where he transitioned into technical support and network administration.[3] Finding this work unsatisfying, he entered St. John's Seminary, earning a bachelor's in philosophy and a master of divinity in 2008.[4] He was ordained a priest on May 31 of the same year.
Priesthood
Nunes' first assignment as a priest was a parochial vicar and administrator of Mary Star of the Sea Church in San Pedro. From 2015 to 2019 he was the priest-secretary of Archbishop José Gómez as well as vice-chancellor, vicar general, and moderator of the curia of the Archdiocese.[5]
Episcopacy
On July 18, 2023, Pope Francis appointed Nunes as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and the titular bishop of Kearney.[1] [6] Archbishop José Gómez consecrated Nunes as a bishop on September 26, 2023, at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels.[7]
