name=Robert Finn
dipstyle=The Most Reverend
offstyle=Your Excellency
relstyle=Monsignor
deathstyle=not applicable |Prior to his present appointment, Msgr. Finn was incardinated as a priest in the Archdiocese of Saint Louis. Having applied for membership in Opus Dei in January 2004, Father Finn was named two months later as coadjutor bishop (with right of succession) of the diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph. Father Finn was consecrated to the episcopate on May 3, 2004, at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Kansas City. He is also a member of the Knights of Columbus.

Bishop Finn became a member of Priestly Society of the Holy Cross in April 2005, which is linked to the Catholic personal prelature Opus Dei. In an interview with the "Catholic Key", Msgr. Finn told of how Opus Dei had helped open his heart to the work of the Holy Spirit. Finn is not technically a member of the Opus Dei prelature, as he is a diocesan priest, but he is able to receive spiritual formation from the prelature in a similar way as its members do.

In August 2005, he received the attention of many traditionalist Catholics by encouraging the traditional Latin Mass in his diocese in accord with Indult provisions which were established during Pope John Paul II's tenure, and welcomed the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest to the diocese to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at the city's oldest church, St. Patrick's Oratory.
