Born in Manchester and of Spanish heritage, Pedro lived, apart from a brief period in Majorca for his father’s work, in Yorkshire. He was an exceptionally gifted student, studying Spanish, maths, chemistry, physics and further maths. Raised in a devout Catholic family, with both his parents members of Opus Dei, he received strong Catholic formation from an early age.
He attended classes in Christian formation with Opus Dei and, at the age of just 17, made the extraordinary decision to become an Opus Dei numerary. On May 1, 2013, he made the commitment to lifelong celibacy in the midst of the world, following the teachings and spirit of St Josemaría Escrivá.
