Oscar Cantú (born December 5, 1966) is a Mexican-American Catholic prelate who has served as Bishop of San Jose since 2018.

[2] Cantú was ordained a priest at Saint Francis de Sales Church in Houston by Archbishop Joseph Fiorenza for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston on May 21, 1994.

[1] Cantú conducted youth retreats in the Christian Family Movement in the archdiocese, and worked with the Engaged Encounter ministry.

[5] He chose as his episcopal motto Zelus domus tuae comedit me (Zeal for the Lord's house consumes me).

[7] Cantú visited Japan in 2015 for the ceremonies marking the 70th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima during World War II.

The Congregation is carrying out its investigation under the provisions of Vos estis lux mundi, the 2019 papal bull that holds bishops accountable for their handling of sexual abuse cases.

In a 2022 interview with Catholic California Daily, Cantú questioned why there were so few American bishops of Hispanic ancestry.

He said:“I think we have a distinct opportunity to be bridges from the historical institutional church in the United States to a growing population whose voice has not always been asked for, whose experiences and opinions have not always been sought.” [12]
