Biography

[edit]

Born in Staten Island, New York, Mundo was ordained a priest on May 19, 1962, for the Diocese of Camden in New Jersey.

On March 6, 1978, Pope Paul VI appointed him as the Titular Bishop of Blanda Julia and Auxiliary Bishop of Jataí. He was consecrated by Bishop George Guilfoyle of Camden on June 2, 1978. The principal co-consecrators were Bishop Benedict D. Coscia, O.F.M., of Jataí and Camden Auxiliary Bishop James Schad.

Pope John Paul II appointed Mundo to succeed Coscia as Bishop of Jataí on February 24, 1999. He died three months later on May 18, 1999, at the age of 61.[1][2]
