William O. Brady

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Otterwell Ignatius Brady (February 1, 1899 - October 1, 1961) was the fourth Archbishop and sixth Bishop of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul in the United States. He succeeded John Gregory Murray as Archbishop on Murray's death on October 11, 1956 and served in the office until his death. Brady was commemorated in the naming of Archbishop Brady High School in West Saint Paul, Minnesota, which has since closed. Efforts to name a new facility after Brady have fallen short, as his relationship with the priests in the Diocese were not on good terms while he served as Archbishop.
