“Bishop P.J. was loved by so many who knew him, and the Diocese of San José was blessed by his ministry as our bishop for 20 years,” the diocese said in a statement Thursday. The San Jose Diocese, originally part of the Archdiocese of San Francisco, was established in 1981. McGrath was the second bishop to serve the diocese, following Bishop Pierre DuMaine.
McGrath served on a priest abuse task force committee with former San Jose Mayor Tom McEnery, who said he pushed for a zero-tolerance policy for abusive priests.

McGrath was succeeded by Bishop Oscar Cantú, who visited with him last weekend shortly before his passing.
