Biography
Sturla was born in a Uruguayan middle-class family. His parents died when he was a teenager. His eldest brother Martín was an important politician at the end of the 20th century.
After earning a bachelor's degree in civil law at the John XXIII Institute, he completed his studies in philosophy and education at the Michael Rua Institute, run by the Salesians of Don Bosco, in Montevideo. He entered the Salesian novitiate in 1979 and made his first religious profession on January 31, 1980. He studied theology at what was then called the Bishop Mariano Soler Theological Institute of Uruguay, and on November 21, 1987, he was ordained a priest.
After his ordination he served as vicar of the Salesian novitiate and postnovitiate, director of the Salesian aspirantate, master of novices, director of the John XXIII Pre-university Institute, and professor of Church history. He earned a licentiate in theology from the Soler Theological Institute in 2006.
On October 28, 2008, he was named Salesian provincial for Uruguay, and shortly after was elected president of the Conference of Religious of Uruguay.
On December 10, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI named him titular bishop of Felbes and auxiliary bishop of Montevideo. On February 11, 2014, Pope Francis promoted him to archbishop of Montevideo, Uruguay. [1] On 9 March 2014 on the occasion of his inauguration a Mass was held together with Archbishop emeritus Nicolás Cotugno and Apostolic Nuncio Anselmo Guido Pecorari; the Mass was attended by President José Mujica, Vice President Danilo Astori, former President Luis Alberto Lacalle, senator Pedro Bordaberry and the mayor of Montevideo Ana Olivera, among others.[2]
Within the Episcopal Conference of Uruguay he has been put in charge of the Departments of the Missions and of the Laity.

Sturla was created a cardinal by Pope Francis on 14 February 2015.[3] As Cardinal-Priest he was assigned the titular church of Santa Galla.[4] He was to take possession of his titular church of Santa Galla at 6 PM on Sunday, May 17, 2015.[5][6]
In April 2015 Cardinal Sturla Berhouet was appointed a member of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization, and Pontifical Council for Latin America.
