(2) After attending Fordham University for a 
year, he entered the Maryknoll Missionary Seminary 
in upstate New York in 1949, and was ordained a 
Catholic priest in June 1957. 
(3) Father Capodanno’s first assignment as a 
missionary was working with aboriginal Taiwanese 
people in the mountains of Taiwan where he served 
in a parish and later in a school. After several years, 
Father Capodanno returned to the United States for 
leave and then was assigned to a Maryknoll school 
in Hong Kong. 
(4) Father Vincent Capodanno volunteered as a 
Navy Chaplain and was commissioned a Lieutenant 
in the Chaplain Corps of the United States Naval 
Reserve in December 28, 1965. 
(5) Father Vincent Capodanno selflessly ex-
tended his combat tour in Vietnam on the condition 
he was allowed to remain with the infantry. 
(6) On September 4, 1967, during a fierce bat-
tle in the Thang Binh District of the Que-Son Valley 
in Vietnam, Father Capodanno went among the 
wounded and dying, giving last rites and caring for 
the injured. He was killed that day while taking care 
of his Marines.

(7) On January 7, 1969, Father Vincent

humously for comforting the wounded and dying 
during the Vietnam conflict. For his dedicated serv-
ice, Father Capodanno was also awarded the Bronze

tion, the National Defense Service Medal, the Viet-
nam Service Medal, the Vietnam Gallantry Cross

ing by Pope John Paul II in Naples, Italy, on Sep-
tember 4, 1981.

Vincent Capodanno’’, in honor of Father Vincent 
Capodanno, a lieutenant in the Navy Chaplain Corps.
