Biography

Agustín Parrado y García was born in Fuensaldaña, and studied at the seminary in Valladolid before being ordained to the priesthood on 21 September 1895. He then taught at the Valladolid seminary and at the Pontifical University of Valladolid. After becoming Vice-Rector of the seminary of Valladolid, Parrado was made canon penitentiary of the cathedral chapter of Astorga, director of its diocesan newspaper, and an official of the diocesan curia.

He was later made a diocesan official of Salamanca, dean of the Theological Faculty at the Pontifical University of Salamanca, and Domestic Prelate of His Holiness on 14 June 1922.

On 20 May 1925, Parrado was appointed Bishop of Palencia by Pope Benedict XV. He received his episcopal consecration in the same year from Archbishop Julián de Diego y García Alcolea, with Bishops Manuel de Castro Alonso and Manuel María Vidal y Boullón serving as co-consecrators, in the Cathedral of Salamanca.

Parrado was later named Archbishop of Granada, ending a nearly four-year-long vacancy, on 7 March 1934 and an Assistant at the Pontifical Throne on 17 October 1945. Pope Pius XII created him Cardinal Priest of Sant'Agostino in the consistory of 22 February 1946.

The Cardinal died in Granada, at age 74. He is buried in the metropolitan cathedral of Granada.
