Bishop Michael C. Barber remarked, "Our diocese has lost a father, grandfather, shepherd and true priest of Jesus Christ, Bishop Cummins served the flock of Oakland so well."
Bishop John S. Cummins, raised in Berkeley, served the Diocese of Oakland for 26 years and held key positions within the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Cummins' impact was felt deeply, as he not only led the diocese as bishop but also contributed to national initiatives, serving in multiple significant roles.
His extensive service culminated in a legacy of leadership and devotion, with the community mourning the loss of a cherished spiritual figure.
