Biography

Joseph Nicholas Dinand was born in Boston, Massachusetts to John and Julia (Looney) Dinand. He received his primary and secondary education in Boston before enrolling in Boston College.[1] Emmet made his novitiate in Frederick, Maryland and professed vows in the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) on August 15, 1880. He continued his education at the College of the Sacred Heart in Woodstock, Maryland and was ordained a priest there by Cardinal James Gibbons of Baltimore on June 25, 1903.[1] He professed final vows on August 15, 1906. His ministry as a Jesuit centered on education. He was a member of the faculty of St. George's College in Kingston, Jamaica, and he served two terms as president at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. On July 12, 1927 Pope Pius XI appointed Dinand as the Titular Bishop of Selinus and Vicar Apostolic of Jamaica. He was consecrated by Bishop Thomas M. O'Leary of Springfield in Massachusetts on October 30, 1927. The principal co-consecrators were Bishops Joseph J. Rice of Burlington and John G. Murray of Portland.[2] Dinand continued to serve as the Vicar Apostolic until his resignation was accepted by Pope Pius XI on October 4, 1929 for health reasons.[1] He died in Weston, Massachusetts at the age of 73 on July 29, 1943.[3]
