Robert Tracy was born on September 14, 1909 in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Robert Emmet and Margaret Agnes (née Cahill) Tracy. He studied at Saint Joseph Seminary College and Notre Dame Seminary. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 12, 1932, at age 22. He then served as a curate at St. Leo Church in New Orleans (1932–1946) and archdiocesan director of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (1937–1946). His ministry as a priest focused especially on the young . He was chaplain of the Newman Centers at Tulane University (1941–1946) and as Chaplain at the Catholic Student Center at  Louisiana State University (1946–1959). He was named a Papal Chamberlain in 1947 and a Domestic Prelate in 1949. From 1954 to 1955, he was national chaplain of the Newman Club Federation.

 

On March 13, 1959, he was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Lafayette in Louisiana and Titular Bishop of Sergentza by Pope John XXIII. Tracy received his episcopal consecration on the following May 19 from Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, with Bishops Maurice Schexnayder and Louis Caillouet serving as co-consecrators.

 

On July 20, 1961, the new Diocese of Baton Rouge was established by Blessed Pope John XXIII, and Bishop Tracy was installed as its first Bishop on November 8 of that year.  Fifty three parishes were transferred from the jurisdiction of New Orleans.

 

From 1962 to 1965, Bishop Tracy attended the Second Vatican Council; on October 24, 1963, he addressed the Council in the name of his fellow American bishops on the subject of racial equality and successfully his fellow bishops to add racial discrimination to the proposed statement condemning bigotry based on gender and national origin, eliciting applause from the rest of the 178 American bishops assembled in St. Peter's basilica, where such ovations were forbidden. A year later, in 1966, he published his memoir of the Council, entitled American Bishop at the Vatican Council. He established a consultative process as an integral part of the diocesan administration, and encouraged the greater participation of the laity in governing the Church. Tracy also oversaw the construction of the Catholic Life Center and the renovation of St. Joseph Cathedral.

 

In January 1966 in New Orleans, he participated  in the consecration of the first Negro to be raised to the U.S. hierarchy in this century.  Preaching at the consecration  of Auxiliary Bishop Harold R. Perry, S.V.D., of New Orleans, in the Basilica of St. Louis here, he said the ceremony occasioned ‘two principal sources of wonderment.’ … ‘First, that today we are witnessing the episcopal consecration of the first Negro ever to be raised to the high office of bishop in order to serve in a diocese of the United States of America in this century. And, second, the fact that this bishop-elect has come through to the public—both here in the South as well as across the nation—as a highly cultivated person; a Churchman with an impressive record of dedication and leadership in the works of religion; a true “man of God” in the modern tradition, fully in touch with the world around him, sensitive to such mundane things as public relations—an attractive, winning personality endowed with all the graces one would expect to find in one of his position.’ ”

 

His leadership during the first years of the Diocese was inspired by the Conciliar vision of the Church as the People of God, with clergy, religious, and laity striving together to do the work of the Lord. He established a full consultative process as an integral part of the diocesan administration, and encouraged laity and religious to join with the priests in sharing responsibility for the mission of the Church. To facilitate this, he oversaw the construction of the "Catholic Life Center" as a model administrative, educational, and service-oriented building. Bishop Tracy also supervised the complete renovation of St. Joseph Cathedral in harmony with the spirit of the renewed liturgy.

 

In 1967, he became the first American Catholic bishop to publish a financial statement for his diocese.  In 1972, he established a committee for the regulation of allowing remarried Catholics to receive the sacraments, saying, "The Church has a pastoral responsibility of healing and forgiveness".

 

He resigned as Baton Rouge's bishop on March 21, 1974, after twelve years of service.  He died on April 4, 1980 aged 70 years.

...Interest in cricket faded because some players such as William F. Tracy, exchanged cricket equipment for baseball uniforms and because small attendances by the local gentry discouraged other players...Another example of the camaraderie among ball players of both races was a game played by the Pickwicks and another black team for the benefit of William F. Tracey, a white sportsman e=who had been a founder of the Lone Star Baseball club, one of the first white teams to play matches with Negroes...The benefit for Tracy is mentioned in the New Orleans Daily Picayune February 10 1878...

In early October 1885, a month before the American Exposition’s November 10 opening, plans were announced to construct a diamond and grand stand for Exposition Ball Park in the area between the Main Building and the river. William F. Tracey, a representative of the American Exposition, was reported to be in Chicago negotiating to bring at least one professional “nine.” New Orleans had a number of amateur teams and semi-professional touring teams but lacked a professional nine to represent the city. The Exposition management faced a dilemma: either bring two professional teams to New Orleans at great expense or try to get together a formidable enough professional nine to represent New Orleans against the visitors.

Other early residents of New Orleans who came from Tipperary

 

Daniel Treacy and Mary Cormack

I found (through rootsireland) that Daniel Treacy and Mary Cormack (Cormick) married in Templemore Co. Tipperary in 1831.  These two might be my great great grandparents.  They had 7 children including William; my great grandparent is a William Tracey/Tracy.  He arrived in USA in 1849 according to his 1868 naturalization record (port of arrival not shown.)  He lived in New Orleans LA USA until his death in 1914.  An 1870 USA census record listed Mary Tracy living with children: Mary, William, Bridget and Ellen Tracy in New Orleans.  I found baptism records through rootsireland for William, Bridget and Ellen in Templemore.  Couldn't find one for the younger Mary shown on the census but she might have been a cousin or other relation.  William married my great grandmother, Eliza Grady (O'Grady) in 1871 in New Orleans.

I just found Mary Tracey/Tracy's (William's mother) obituary showing she died in New Orleans on 11-30-1879.  She was living with William her son at the time of her death.  Obituary shows she was from Clanmore [Clonmore], North Riding, Tipperary.  She lived in N.O. for 30 years indicating she arrived with William in 1849. 

I don't know what happened to Daniel Treacy.  I could not find a death record in either Ireland or New Orleans.  I attribute the spelling variation to inability to read/write at the time entry into USA. 

I think it is quite possible that Daniel and Mary are my great great grandparents.  My great grandfather, William Tracy/Tracey, named his first born son Daniel; unfortunately, the baby died at about 6 months in New Orleans and this child's obit showed the funeral was conducted from the family home on Annunciation St. in New Orleans.  This was confirmation that the widow Mary Tracy and William Tracy as shown in a New Orleans city directory were mother and son as the residence for both was the same Annunciation St. address.

I hope there are Treacys and/or Cormacks still residing in that area of Tipperary.  I would love to connect with them.  I have been doing genealogy work on my totally Irish family for 40 years and a major reason has always been to connect with relatives in Ireland.  I am a fifth generation Irish American, 100% Irish by surnames and 93% Irish by DNA testing.  The other 7% is European/Viking. 

Thanks again.
