Monsignor Thomas B. Finn, vicar general in Covington
The Rev. Monsignor Thomas Bernard Finn, 88, of Fort Mitchell, died Sunday at Carmel Manor Nursing Home, Fort Thomas.
Monsignor Finn was a retired vicar general for the Diocese of Covington - second only to the bishop in terms of responsibility - and a former pastor of St. Thomas Church in Fort Thomas and Holy Cross Church in Latonia.
"A lot of people were touched by his life," said Father John H. Kroger, pastor of St. Anthony Church in Bellevue, who served as assistant to Monsignor Finn for five years.
"He loved the church, and he dedicated his life to the church."
Monsignor Finn was a former vicar for religious affairs, domestic prelate and consultor with the diocese, and also served as director of Diocesan Catholic Charities, now known as Catholic Social Services, for about 15 years.
While director for the Diocesan Catholic Charities, Monsignor Finn and his sister, Ella Finn, now deceased, housed and educated a Vietnamese orphan.
"He and his sister welcomed a young Vietnamese girl into their lives and into their hearts," said Father Kroger.
Monsignor Finn, whose father was a Covington police officer, was ordained in 1937 by the Most Rev. Francis W. Howard at Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Covington.
He initially served as an assistant at Immaculate Conception Church in Newport, then became secretary to the Most Rev. William T. Mulloy in 1945.
The following year, he was named the diocesan director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.
He later served as the Marriage Tribunal's Defender of the Bond, chaplain at St. Joseph Heights in Fort Wright, and an administrator with St. Joseph Church in Camp Springs.
After retiring in 1981, Monsignor Finn served on the St. Elizabeth Medical Center Board for 10 years, was chaplain of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Cincinnati for a year, and has been the chaplain in residence at Carmel Manor since 1994.
