Patrick Kelly (bishop of Waterford and Lismore)
Résumé
Patrick Kelly (16 April 1779 – 8 October 1829) was an Irish prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as the first bishop of the Diocese of Richmond in Virginia (1820–1822) and as bishop of the Diocese of Waterford and Lismore in Ireland (1822–1829).
Patrick Kelly was born in Kilkenny, Ireland on 16 April 1779 to Matthew and Anastatia Nowlan Kelly. He was sent to a classical school at Lisdowney in 1793, and to the Old Academy in 1795. In 1797, he entered the St. Patrick's College in Lisbon, Portugal.
Kelly was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Antônio de Pádua e Bellas in Lisbon on 18 July 1802. For the next two years he served as professor of philosophy at St. Patrick's.
Kelly returned to Ireland on 15 August 1804. Due to poor health, he spent his first year living at home with his parents. He then served as a curate for a parish in Inistioge. In 1808 he was assigned to a parish in The Rower, a village in Kilkenny. In 1811, Kelly was appointed as a professor of philosophy at the Maudlin Street College in Kilkenny, then went in 1814 to teach at St Kieran's College at Birchfield. In August, 1815, Kelly was named as professor of theology at St. Kieran's and then president of the college in 1816. Kelly served as both president and chair of the theology department until the summer of 1820.
On 19 July 1820, Kelly was appointed by Pope Pius VII as the first bishop of the newly erected Diocese of Richmond in the United States. He received his episcopal consecration on 24 August 1820 at St. Mary's Church in Kilkenny from Archbishop John Thomas Troy, with Archbishop Daniel Murray and Bishop Kyran Marum serving as co-consecrators.
Kelly sailed from Dublin on 9 October 1820, and arrived in New York, after sixty days at sea, on 24 December 1820. After stopping in Philadelphia to visit Bishop Henry Conwell, Kelly then went to Baltimore, He received a cool reception there from Bishop Ambrose Maréchal, who may have been unhappy at having the Diocese of Richmond carved out of his diocese.
