Biography

Born in Newark, New Jersey, Joseph Costello was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Newark on June 7, 1941.

On November 17, 1962 Pope John XXIII appointed Costello as the Titular Bishop of ‘’Choma’’ and Auxiliary Bishop of Newark. He was consecrated a bishop by Archbishop Thomas Boland on January 24, 1963. The principal co-consecrators were Bishop James McNulty of Paterson and Newark Auxiliary Bishop Martin Stanton.

Costello attended three of the four sessions of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965). He continued to serve as an auxiliary bishop until his death at the age of 63 on September 22, 1978.[1][2]
