“I was Fr. Capodanno aide for a period of time in Vietnam with Henry Hernandez. I have a lot of memories of Fr. Capodanno...I have never met a man in my life time like Fr. Capodanno- it was like he had a aura around him. I knew during the tough times in Vietnam God was with him. I also had the same feeling when I was in action with Fr. Capodanno.”
"After having consulted with the Holy See, my brother bishops and the faithful, I have verified the widespead reputation of sanctity enjoyed by the late Reverend Vincent Robert Capodanno, of the Society of the Foreign Missions, and Chaplain, United States Navy." --Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien, Official Decree announcing Capodanno as Servant of God
