The episcopal ordination of 55 year old David O’Connell, CM drew an exceptionally large number of the hierarchy. This was no doubt a result of his 12 year ministry as President of Catholic University. For “one stop” collection of links to the coverage visit the website of the New England Province.

The Lord has blessed the Vincentian Family by giving us a Bishop in the person of Rt. Rev. David M. O’Connell, C. M. As we celebrate the 350th anniversary of our Holy Founder St. Vincent, let the motto “to serve and not to be served” echo and re-echo in every fiber of our Being.
Congratulations dear Bishop David O”Connell, C.M.
