Anneto Depasquale (July 28, 1938 – November 29, 2011) was the Roman Catholic titular bishop of Aradi and the auxiliary bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Malta, Malta.

Biography

Depasquale was born in Qormi on June 28, 1938 and was ordained a priest on April 7, 1962.

He served in the Commission for Children's Homes and the Pastoral Research Services as well as the parish of St George in Qormi and later the parish of English-speaking Catholics. He was appointed Chancellor of the Curia in 1977 and Pastoral Secretary in April 1986.

He became Vicar General, deputy to Archbishop Joseph Mercieca, on November 16, 1989. His episcopal consecration took place on January 2, 1999. Once viewed as a possible successor to Mercieca, Depasquale suffered serious ill health which kept him away from his duties for several months. Although he eventually returned to duty, he never fully recovered.

Depasquale died in 2011.[1]
