The Archbishop of Guadalajara, cardinal Juan Sandoval Íñiguez, ordained him bishop on 19 March of the same year. He was involved in the diocesan commission of lay organizations and was president of the Council for Economic Affairs and the Council for Beatification and Canonization. In the Mexican episcopate, he was a member of the Permanent Council, a delegate for the Ecclesiastical Province of Guadalajara, an advisor to the Catholic Charismatic Renewal Movement, a member of the Episcopal Commission before the Universidad Pontificia de México (UPM) and a UPM delegate to the Episcopal Commission for Vocations and Offices.[2]
