Henry Joseph Mansell (born October 10, 1937) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He was the fourth Archbishop of Hartford, having previously served as Bishop of Buffalo from 1995 to 2003. The Archbishop is believed by many in the Buffalo Diocese to have an eidetic memory, which is different than a photographic memory, being the instant recall of images, sounds and objects. However, it is important to note the Archbishop's ability to memorize names of, for example, Confirmation candidates without note cards or assistance. Pope Francis accepted Archbishop Mansell's resignation from the pastoral care of the archdiocese on October 29, 2013 having reached the mandatory retirement age a year earlier. Pope Francis appointed Bishop Leonard Paul Blair of Toledo, Ohio as the new Archbishop on the same day.
Henry Mansell was born in The Bronx to Henry and Bridget (née Finn) Mansell, and baptized at St. Augustine's Church three weeks later. He has a sister, Anne.
Mansell attended Cathedral College, the preparatory seminary of the Archdiocese of New York, in Manhattan from 1951 to 1957, and then entered St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers, where he obtained a Bachelor's degree in 1959. Mansell then studied at the Pontifical North American College and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, where he was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop Martin O'Connor on December 19, 1962. He earned a Licentiate of Sacred Theology from the Gregorian in 1963, and did postgraduate work at the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. until 1965.
