Early life


James Wood was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to a Unitarian family.[1] His parents were both from England, his father (a merchant) from Manchester and his mother from Gloucestershire; they immigrated to the United States in 1809.[2] After attending an elementary school on Dock Street, he was sent abroad to the Crypt School at Gloucester in November 1821.[2] He returned to Philadelphia five years later and then enrolled at a private school on Market Street.[3] In November 1827, he and his family removed to Cincinnati, Ohio, where the young Wood became a clerk at the Branch Bank of the United States. After being advanced to individual book-keeper and discount clerk, he was made a paying and receiving teller (1833) and cashier (1836) in the Franklin Bank of Cincinnati.[2]



Conversion and ordination


Wood also developed a friendship with Bishop John Baptist Purcell, who later baptized him into the Catholic Church on April 7, 1836.[3] Deciding to enter the priesthood, he resigned as cashier at Franklin Bank in September 1837 and went to Rome for his studies the following October.[2] After spending a few months at the Pontifical Irish College under Paul Cullen (later Paul Cardinal Cullen), he studied at the College of the Propaganda for seven years, also becoming prefect of discipline there.[3] Wood was ordained a priest by Cardinal Giacomo Filippo Fransoni on March 25, 1844.[4] Upon his return to the Diocese of Cincinnati in October 1844, he served as a curate at the Cathedral of St. Peter in Chains until 1854, when he became pastor of St. Patrick's Church in Cincinnati.[2]



Episcopal ministry



Coadjutor Bishop of Philadelphia


On January 9, 1857, Wood was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Philadelphia and Titular Bishop of Antigonea by Pope Pius IX.[4] He received his episcopal consecration on the following April 26 from Archbishop Purcell, with Bishops John Neumann, C.SS.R. (later a Saint), and Richard Vincent Whelan serving as co-consecrators.[4] After arriving in Philadelphia, he took charge of the financial affairs of the diocese and established the cathedral parish.[3]



Fifth Bishop of Philadelphia

Wood later succeeded Neumann as the fifth Bishop of Philadelphia upon the latter's death on January 5, 1860.[4] At the time of his succession, the diocese (which included the entire states of Pennsylvania and Delaware in addition to western New Jersey) included 200,000 Catholics, 137 priests, 131 parishes, 17 chapels and missions, 40 parish schools with 8,710 pupils, four colleges and four academies.[1][5] The erection of the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul came to a brief halt with the outbreak of the Civil War, but was later dedicated by Wood on November 20, 1864.[1] In 1865 he purchased a large tract of land in Overbrook, on the outskirts of Philadelphia, for the new St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, the cornerstone of which was laid on April 4, 1866.[3] The seminary was opened in September 1871 with 128 students.[5] He was named an Assistant at the Pontifical Throne in 1862.[3]


Wood established the Catholic Home for Destitute Orphan Girls, enlarged St. Vincent's Home and founded a convent for the Sisters of the Good Shepherd.[2] He also introduced into the diocese the Little Sisters of the Poor, Servant Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis and Sisters of the Holy Child Jesus.[2] He condemned such secret societies as the Freemasons and Molly Maguires.[3]


In 1868 the Dioceses of Harrisburg, Scranton and Wilmington were established, leaving Philadelphia with 93 churches and 157 priests.[5] Wood attended the First Vatican Council, where he supported the definition of papal infallibility,[2] but was forced to leave early in March 1870 due to poor health.[1] He was also named Treasurer of the Board for the Pontifical North American College.[1]



Metropolitan Archbishop


On February 12, 1875, the Diocese of Philadelphia was elevated to the rank of an archdiocese, with Wood becoming its first Metropolitan Archbishop.[4] He was invested with the pallium by Archbishop James Roosevelt Bayley on the following June 17.[3] He traveled to Rome in 1877 to assist at the celebration of the golden jubilee of Pius IX's episcopate, but returned home after suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism.[1] He also suffered from Bright's disease.[3] Since the division of the diocese in 1868, Wood increased the number of churches to 127 and of chapels to 53 chapels, and founded 25 new parochial schools.[1] By 1883, there were also 31 missions, 260 priests, 99 seminarians between St. Charles Seminary and the North American College, three colleges, 22,000 students in parochial schools, six orphanages, four hospitals, two homes for the elderly and over 300,000 Catholics.[3]


Wood later died in Philadelphia, aged 70. He is buried in the crypt beneath Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral. Archbishop Wood Catholic High School in Warminster is named in his honor.
