Steven Joseph Lopes (born April 22, 1975) is an American Roman Catholic prelate. He is the bishop of the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter, a community for former Anglican clergy and laypeople within the Catholic Church.
A native of Fremont, California, Lopes was born on April 22, 1975, the only child of José de Oliveira Lopes and Barbara Jane Lopes. His father was from Portugal and his mother from Poland. He was educated at Catholic schools in California: St. Pius School in Redwood City, St Edward's School in Newark, and Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward.
Lopes studied at the St. Ignatius Institute at the University of San Francisco, and also pursued studies at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. His philosophical studies and preparation for the priesthood took place at St. Patrick’s Seminary in Menlo Park, California, before he was assigned to study theology in Rome. There he obtained a licentiate at the Pontifical Gregorian University while living at the Pontifical North American College.
Lopes was ordained to the diaconate on October 5, 2000, during a Mass at St. Peter's Basilica, Rome. He was ordained a priest on June 23, 2001, for the Archdiocese of San Francisco by William Levada. He served in two parishes in California as an associate pastor; St. Patrick's Catholic Church, San Francisco, and St. Anselm Catholic Church in Ross, California.
