Biography
Fernando Quiroga y Palacios was born San Pedro de Maceda, Orense, and studied at the seminary in Orense, the Pontifical University of Santiago de Compostela, and Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome. Ordained to the priesthood on June 10, 1922, he then finished his studies in 1925. While doing pastoral work in Orense, Quiroga was also a professor and spiritual advisor at the Orense seminary from 1925 to 1942. In 1942, he was named lectoral canon of the cathedral chapter of Valladolid, where he also did pastoral and seminary work until 1945.
On November 24, 1945, Quiroga was appointed Bishop of Mondoñedo by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on March 24, 1946, from Archbishop Antonio García y García, with assisted by Bishops Francisco Blanco Nájera and José Soutop Vizoso, in the shrine of the Gran Promesa del Sagrado Corazón. Quiroga was advanced to Archbishop of Santiago de Compostela on June 4, 1949, and later Cardinal Priest of "S. Agostino" by Pius XII in the consistory of January 12, 1953.
