Mansell was ordained an auxiliary bishop of New York by Pope John Paul II in 1993. He was promoted to the bishopric of Buffalo two years later. His mentor's emphatic choice to take the throne of St Patrick's Cathedral before John Cardinal O'Connor's death, ended up instead in the Connecticut post, where he was installed in 2003.
