The college was formed in 1975 with the amalgamation of two of Armidale's longest-established schools – St Ursula's College (established in 1882 by Sister Mary Cordula)^[2] and De La Salle College (established in 1906).^[3]

The college takes its name from Patrick O'Connor, Bishop of Armidale from 1904–1930 who contributed greatly to Catholic education in the Diocese during that time.

O’Connor Catholic College is a systemic secondary school in the Diocese of Armidale. It occupies the site of the former De La Salle College.

O’Connor has as its motto the quote from St Paul's Letter to the Galatians, "The Fruit of the Spirit is Love".
