Biography[]
Anthony Michael Milone was born on September 24, 1932, in Omaha, Nebraska, where he attended Creighton Prep. He studied at the seminary at Conception Abbey in Conception, Missouri, the North American College, and the Gregorian University in Rome.[1] On December 15, 1957, he was ordained a priest in the Archdiocese of Omaha.
On November 10, 1981, Milone was appointed titular bishop of Plestia and auxiliary bishop of Omaha.
He was consecrated a bishop by Pope John Paul II.[2]
On December 14, 1987, he was appointed Bishop of Great Falls-Billings and he was installed on February 23, 1988.
His excellency Anthony Michael Milone is the namesake of his niece Jane's second born son, Anthony Jay Hanchett (born 7/16/1995, Scottsdale, AZ).
His excellency, at one point, also went to Mass and received the Eucharist From Saint Padre Pio. Coincidentally, his niece Jane’s first born son, Thomas Joseph Hanchett (born 1/18/1993), has a striking resemblance to Saint Padre Pio.
Pope Benedict XVI accepted Milone's resignation for reasons of health on July 12, 2006.[3] He died in Omaha May 17, 2018, at the age of 85.[1]
