Biography[edit]

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, James Burke was ordained a priest in the Order of Preachers (Dominicans) on June 8, 1956. On March 8, 1965 Pope Paul VI appointed him as the first Territorial Prelate of Chimbote. He participated in the fourth session of the Second Vatican Council in 1965. Burke was named the Titular BishopofLamiggiga by Pope Paul on April 8, 1967. He was consecrated a bishop by Cardinal Richard CushingofBoston on May 25, 1967. The principal co-consecrators were Bishop Walter CurtisofBridgeport and Auxiliary Bishop Edward SwanstromofNew York.[1] He continued to serve as Territorial Prelate until his resignation was accepted by Pope Paul on June 2, 1978.[2] After his retirement he assisted in the Diocese of Wilmington, Delaware, in the U.S., as vicar for urban affairs (not as coadjutor or auxiliary), until his death on May 28, 1994, at the age of 67.
