Biography

Early life

Peter Uglietto was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on September 24, 1951, the son of Salvatore and Dolores (Ciampi) Uglietto. [1] He has two sisters. As a child, Peter Uglietto attended the St. Luke parish school in Cambridge before going to the Boston Archdiocesan Choir School in the same city. He then entered Boston College High School in Boston. [2] [3]

After graduating from high school, Uglietto entered Boston College, where he graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Having decided to enter the priesthood, he enrolled in Saint John's Seminary in Boston, receiving a Master of Divinity degree in 1977. [3] Before his ordination, Uglietto served as a deacon at St. John the Baptist Parish in Quincy, Massachusetts. [4] [2]

Priesthood

Uglietto was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Boston by Cardinal Humberto Medeiros on May 21, 1977, at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston. [1] After his ordination, the archdiocese assigned Uglietto to pastoral positions in several parishes in Eastern Massachusetts over the next 11 years:

During this period, Uglietto also served as a retreat speaker for the archdiocesan Spiritual Development Office (1979 -1988) and adjunct spiritual director at St. John Seminary (1985 to 1988). For two years (1986 to 1988), he served as coordinator of spiritual directors and retreats with the diaconate program. In 1990, Uglietto began a three-year assignment as campus minister at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts. [5]

Uglietto earned a Licentiate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Lateran University at the Washington, D.C. campus of the John Paul II Institute. Uglietto has also received a Master of Christian Spirituality degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. [5] In 2005, Uglietto began serving at Pope John XXIII National Seminary in Weston, first as a professor of moral theology, then as rector and finally as president. He remained at the seminary until 2010. [3] [5]

Auxiliary Bishop of Boston

Uglietto was appointed as titular bishop of Thubursicum and auxiliary bishop of Boston on June 30, 2010, by Pope Benedict XVI. [6] Uglietto was consecrated on September 14, 2010, by Cardinal Sean O’Malley at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, with Bishops Francis Irwin and John Dooher serving as co-consecrators. [1]

As auxiliary bishop, Uglietto was assigned the north region of the archdiocese. O'Malley appointed him as vicar general and moderator of the curia for the archdiocese on February 3, 2014. [7]
