R. Luke Concanen

Bishop Richard Luke Concanen (December 27, 1747 - June 19, 1810) was the first bishop of the Roman Catholic diocese of New York.

Born in Kilbegnet, Co. Galway, Ireland, he was ordained a priest on December 22, 1770, and ordained bishop on April 24, 1808. He served as bishop of the diocese of New York from that date until his death. However, due to Napoleon's blockade of Naples, the port from which he was to leave for New York, he died before leaving for America.
