Father Juan Pedro Varo named Adopted Son of Tarifa

The Tarifa City Council named Father Juan Pedro Varo Salguero an Adopted Son of Tarifa during a ceremony at the Teatro Municipal Alameda. The distinction recognizes his long-term connection to the municipality and his pastoral and social service to the community.

Father Varo is the episcopal delegate for the Zona Pastoral del Campo de Gibraltar and the parish priest of San Mateo Apóstol and San Francisco. He has worked in Tarifa since 2004, when he arrived as a vicar. In 2016, he assumed responsibility for the San Mateo Apóstol parish.

The City Council cited his service to the people and his presence in the social and religious life of the town as reasons for the honor. Born in Cádiz in 1972, Father Varo completed his theological studies in Seville.
