About
Charles J. Chaput was born on September 26, 1944 in Kansas. A prelate of the Catholic Church from the United States who, in 2011, was consecrated to the role of Archbishop of Philadelphia.
In 1967, he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from St. Fidelis College, which is located in Herman. He is the first Native American archbishop and only the second Native American to ever be consecrated as a bishop in the United States. This is due to the fact that he is a member of the Prairie Band Potawatomi, making him the first Native American from his tribe to ever achieve this honour. His French Canadian father was a direct descendant of the French saint King Louis IX, while his Native American mother was a member of the original inhabitants of the land.
