CONCANEN, Luke, bishop, born in Ireland; died in Naples, Italy, in 1810. He was educated in Rome, where he acquired so much influence that ecclesiastical appointments in Ireland were usually determined by his advice. He was also interested in the missions of America, and to some extent the founder of the Dominican convent of St. Rose in Kentucky, which he sustained by his contributions to the end of his life. In 1808 he was created first bishop of New York, and was also commissioned by the pope to carry the pallium to Archbishop Carroll. As his attempt to sail for the United States from Leghorn was frustrated by the disturbed condition of the country, he went to Naples, whence he expected to sail, but was arrested by order of Murat, on the pretext that he was a British subject. He was imprisoned in the convent of St. Dominic at Naples, and the hardships he endured caused his death.
