Biography[edit]
Regis Canevin was born at Beatty (now called Latrobe) in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, to Thomas and Rosanna Canevin.[1] After receiving his early education at schools in his native city, he entered St. Vincent College in 1871 and later St. Vincent Seminary in 1875.[2] He was ordained to the priesthood on June 4, 1879.[3]
Canevin's first assignment was as a curate at St. Mary's Church in the Lawrenceville neighborhood of Pittsburgh, where he remained until 1881.[4] He then served in the same capacity at St. Paul's Cathedral in Pittsburgh for five years.[4] In 1886, he became chaplain at St. Paul's Orphan Asylum and the Western Penitentiary, as well as pastor of the mission in Canonsburg.[4] He served as chancellor of the Diocese of Pittsburgh from 1888 until 1893, when he became pastor of St. Philip's Church in Crafton.[5] He was named rector of St. Paul's Cathedral in 1895.[5]
On January 16, 1903, Canevin was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Pittsburgh and Titular Bishop of Sabratha by Pope Leo XIII.[3] He received his episcopal consecration on the following February 24 from Archbishop Patrick John Ryan, with Bishops John W. Shanahan and Leo Michael Haid serving as co-consecrators.[3] Upon the death of Bishop Richard Phelan, Canevin succeeded him to become the fifth Bishop of Pittsburgh on December 20, 1904.[3] He was the first American and the first native son of the diocese to become bishop.[5]
After 16 years as bishop, Canvein retired due to ill health on January 9, 1921; he was appointed Titular Archbishop of Pelusium by Pope Benedict XV on the same date.[3] He later died at Mercy Hospital at age 73, and is buried at St. Mary Cemetery in Lawrenceville.
