Life

Bishop Campbell was born in Larne, County Antrim, in Northern Ireland, in 1941 and entered the Order of St. Augustine around 1960. He was educated at University College, Dublin (BA) and King's College London (MA Biblical Studies). He professed solemn religious vows as a full and permanent member of the Order on 17 September 1966.[1] He was ordained as a Catholic priest at the chapel of Austin Friars School in the City of Carlisle on 16 September 1971.[2]

In 2008, Campbell was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI as the coadjutor bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Lancaster. For this office he was ordained a bishop by the then Bishop of Lancaster, Patrick O'Donoghue. He succeeded Bishop O'Donoghue on 1 May 2009.
