Terence Cardinal Cooke, (1 March 1921 - 6 October 1983) was an American cardinal, the tenth bishop (seventh archbishop) of the Roman Catholic archdiocese of New York. He was born in New York, entered St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie in 1940 and was ordained a priest on December 1, 1945. He was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of New York on September 15, 1965, and ordained a bishop on December 13, 1965 with the titular see of Summa. He was appointed Archbishop of New York on March 2, 1968 and appointed Archbishop for the Military Services on April 4, 1968. He was elevated to Cardinal on April 28, 1969, and served as archbishop until his death from cancer. He is interred in the crypt under the altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral. In 1988, he was posthumously awarded the F. Sadlier Dinger Award by William H. Sadlier, Inc. for his outstanding contributions to the ministry of religious education in America. He was widely regarded as a holy person during his episcopal ministry as archbishop; the cause for his canonization is under way. As of 1992, he is now a "servant of God".
