Moeller, with Bishops James Joseph Hartley and John A. Floersh serving as co-consecrators.[2] During his 20-year tenure, he became a nationally recognized leader in Catholic education and established a strong system of Catholic grade schools and high schools a priority for the diocese.[3] He was named an Assistant at the Pontifical Throne in 1928. Following the 1937 Ohio River flood, he opened all Catholic churches in Covington for relief purposes.[4] Howard later died at age 76.
