Biography
Daly was born in San Francisco, California[1] and attended St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, California, where he was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of San Francisco on May 9, 1987. He served as a curate at Our Lady of Loretto Parish in Novato, and later as a teacher and campus minister at Marin Catholic High School. Later, he served as part-time chaplain to the San Francisco Police Department while concurrently posted as curate at St. Cecilia's Church. After these assignments, he became involved in the archdiocesan vocations office; serving concurrently as Director of Vocations and president of Marin Catholic High School.[2][3]
Daly was named auxiliary bishop of San Jose and titular bishop of Tabalta by Pope Benedict XVI on March 16, 2011.[4] He attended his first diocesan event at the Mass in Celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Diocese of San Jose, and was consecrated bishop on May 25, 2011 at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Joseph by Bishop Patrick Joseph McGrath of San José, with Archbishop George Hugh Niederauer of San Francisco and Bishop George Leo Thomas of Helena co-consecrating in the presence of Roger Cardinal Mahony.[5]
On September 16, 2013, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco, who is also the President and Chancellor of Saint Patrick's Seminary, named Bishop Daly as the interim President/Rector of the seminary.[6] This is the first time in the history of the seminary that the rector has not been a member of the Society of St. Sulpice.[7] Bishop Daly, who is also on the seminary's board of directors, served as rector until the Sulpicians nominated a new rector/president, Father Gladstone Stevens, PSS, who became rector at the beginning of the new academic year in the Fall of 2014.[6]
