Biography[]
Francis Monaghan was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Thomas P. and Anna Loretta (née Daly) Monaghan.[1] He attended Seton Hall College in South Orange, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts (1911) and Master of Arts (1913).[2] He then studied at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, where he was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Basilio Pompili on May 29, 1915.[3] He earned a Doctor of Sacred Theology that same year.[2]
Upon his return to New Jersey in 1915, he served as a curate at St. Paul of the Cross Church in Jersey City until 1926, when he became a professor of dogmatic theology and metaphysics at Immaculate Conception Seminary.[2] He served as President of Seton Hall College from 1933 to 1936.[1] He was named a Papal Chamberlain in 1934.[1]
On April 17, 1936, Monaghan was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Ogdensburg, New York, and Titular Bishop of Mela by Pope Pius XI.[3] He received his episcopal consecration on the following June 29 from Archbishop Thomas Walsh, with Bishops Joseph Henry Conroy and Thomas H. McLaughlin serving as co-consecrators.[3] Following the death of Bishop Conroy, Monaghan succeeded him as Roman Catholic Bishop of Ogdensburg on March 20, 1939.[3]
He later died from a cerebral hemorrhage at Mercy Hospital in Watertown, aged 52.[1]
