On November 21, 1967, Hurley was appointed auxiliary bishop of San Francisco and titular bishop of Thunusuda by Pope Paul VI.[4] He received his episcopal consecration on January 4, 1968, from Archbishop Joseph Thomas McGucken, with Bishops Hugh Aloysius Donohoe and Ernest John Primeau serving as co-consecrators.[4] His consecration was one of the first such liturgies to be celebrated in the vernacular.[6] As an auxiliary bishop, he continued to serve as assistant chancellor of the archdiocese.[3]

Following the transfer of Bishop Leo Thomas Maher to the Diocese of San Diego, Hurley was named the second Bishop of Santa Rosa on November 19, 1969.[4] His installation took place at St. Eugene Cathedral on January 14, 1970.[6] During his tenure, he implemented the reforms of the Second Vatican Council and worked to ensure the financial stability of the diocese.[6]

He established terms of office for pastors and associate pastors, opened a low-income senior residence, and created the Priests' Retirement Fund, Project Hope, and the Apostolic Endowment Fund.[6] He founded the Centro Pastoral Hispano and re-dedicated Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha Mission.[6] He established two new parishes in his last five years as bishop, and ordained over a dozen priests and deacons in his last three years.[6]

[edit]

After governing the diocese for sixteen years, Hurley resigned as Bishop of Santa Rosa on April 15, 1986.[4] He later died after an operation for an aneurysm in San Francisco, at age 81.[1]
