He worked closely with Washington Archbishops Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle, William Cardinal Baum, and James Cardinal Hickey.

Archbishop Donoghue was consecrated a bishop in 1984, following his appointment by Pope John Paul II as the second bishop of Charlotte. On August 19 1993 he was installed as the fifth Archbishop of Atlanta. He led the Archdiocese for over ten years, with his reign bearing great fruits, especially through an emphasis on Eucharistic Renewal and Catholic Education.
