José Luis Mumbiela Sierra

D. (born 27 May 1969 in Monzón, Spain) is a Spanish-born Roman Catholic prelate, and current Bishop of the Holy Trinity Diocese in Almaty.

[3] In January 2022, following weeks of civil unrest, Mumbiela addressed the issue in a message sent to international Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need.

[4] In his message, spoken in Russian, he stated that "people in Kazakhstan, especially in Almaty didn’t deserve anything like this", and asked all those involved to work for peace.

Days before Pope Francis visited Kazakhstan to participate in the 7th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, in 2023 Bishop Mumbiela stated "Following the sad incidents of violence that Kazakhstan suffered at the beginning of this year, the Pope is coming to tell us that we are not alone, that we need to keep moving forward.

The Pope told the president that he greatly values all that Kazakhstan has done to work for peace and harmony, and that he is coming as a show of support.
