Exactly 23 years ago on April 22, the singer-songwriter was ordained as a priest. O'Connor was ordained as a Latin Tridentine priest and took the name Mother Bernadette Marie.
The ceremony that sparked both national and international interest took place in a hotel suite in Lourdes, France, and was performed by Bishop Michael Cox.
