Bishop Joseph Coffey

Bishop Joseph L. Coffey, son of the late Dr William F.X. Coffey and Roseanita Schubert Coffey, was born in Rochester, Minnesota, on 31 May 1960. He is the fifth of nine children and the proud uncle of forty-six nieces and nephews and twenty-one great nieces and nephews. He was raised in Philadelphia and is a life-long fan of all the Philly sports teams.

Bishop Coffey graduated from La Salle University in 1982 with a double major in English and French, which included a year’s study at the Sorbonne University in Paris. After college, he worked as a schoolteacher, a ski instructor in Switzerland and in the car industry in Germany and Belgium for five years.

Heeding a call to the priesthood, he attended St Charles Borromeo Seminary in Philadelphia and graduated with a Master of Divinity degree (MDiv) and was ordained in 1996 by Anthony Cardinal Bevilacqua. He earned a Master of Arts (MA) in Moral Theology, also from St. Charles Borromeo Seminary in 2000. While still in the seminary Father Coffey was given permission by Cardinal Bevilacqua to enter the United States Navy Chaplain Candidate Programme in May 1992, with the rank of ensign. He stayed in the Navy Reserve for the next nine years. Following ordination in 1996, Bishop Coffey was assigned as an Associate Pastor to St Katherine of Siena parish in Philadelphia.
