Biography

He was born in Saint John, New Brunswick, and received his education at St. Joseph's College, Memramcook, and the Grand Seminary, Montreal.[1] He was ordained to the priesthood at Portland, Oregon, on June 29, 1890.[2] He was then named to the mission of Oswego and Tegardville, and was made rector of the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Portland, in February 1894.[3]

On June 25, 1903, O'Reilly was appointed the first Bishop of the newly erected Diocese of Baker City by Pope Leo XIII.[2] He received his episcopal consecration on the following August 25 from Archbishop Alexander Christie, with Bishops Alphonse Joseph Glorieux and Edward John O'Dea serving as co-consecrators.[2]

He was named the third Bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska on March 20, 1918.[2] For several years he edited the Catholic Sentinel.[4]

O'Reilly died at age 63.
