Robert Emmet Lucey

Robert Emmet Lucey (March 16, 1891 – August 1, 1977) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.

Among the positions that he held were chaplain of the Newman Club at the University of Los Angeles and diocesan director of Catholic Charities (1921–1925) of the California Conference of Social Work (1923–24), director of Catholic Hospitals for the diocese (1924–1934), and board member of the California State Department of Social Welfare (1924–1930).

[3] On March 1, 1934, Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Cicognani consecrated Lucey at St. Vibiana's Cathedral in Los Angeles.

[5] In September 1968, while dedicating a new church rectory in Stonewall, Texas, with President Johnson in attendance, Lucey praised the US involvement in the Vietnam War, contending that it reflected the peace efforts of Pope Paul VI.

He was buried at Holy Cross Cemetery, which had been built on a plot of land in Bexar County that he had acquired for the church.
