Biography
Bishop Mazzolari was born Feb. 9, 1937 in
Mexican American
miners.
He rebuilt the Diocese of Rumbek, after the two Southern Sudanese Secession Wars (1955–1973 and 1983–2005) had devastated the country and the Government of Khartoum had expelled all foreign missionaries from the country in the 1960s.[1][2][3]
He died a week later, on 16 July 2011, at the age of 74, while concelebrating a Mass.[4]
