The Arlington Diocese has named Angela Pellerano director of
media relations. A bilingual Cuban-American, Pellerano has
more than 15 years of experience as an Emmy Award-winning
broadcast journalist.

“Angela brings to the Diocese of Arlington not only a wealth
of experience in broadcast journalism,” said Arlington Bishop
Paul S. Loverde, “but a commitment to sharing the church’s
message of Good News through service to members of the media.
Her faith and experience will undoubtedly bear fruit as
together, we seek to invite all within the boundaries of this
diocese to an encounter with Christ and His church.”

Born in Cuba, Pellerano grew up in Miami and attended
parochial schools through high school. Following her
graduation from Piedmont College, she worked in a number of
states and covered a variety of national stories, including
campaigns and other high-profile events. Known for her
investigative reporting and in-depth interviews, Pellerano’s
many roles included reporter, weekend news anchor and acting
managing editor at CBS 6 News in Richmond; and investigative
producer at KARE/NBC 11 News in Minneapolis, CBS 4 in Miami
and WSCV 51/Telemundo in Miami.

“I am thrilled and honored to serve the Catholic Diocese of
Arlington,” Pellerano said. “This is a faith-filled diocese
with so many stories of compassion, education, evangelization
and service to those on the margins of our society. I look
forward to sharing these stories and bringing them to the
light of wider audiences.”
