FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Rev. Robert M. Kinnally, parochial vicar of St. Pius X Parish in Fairfield, has been named to the Board of Trustees of Sacred Heart University. The board is Sacred Heart’s principal governing body.

Father Kinnally earned degrees in English from Manhattan College and New York University and a degree in sacred theology from the Catholic University of America.
