Francis Joseph Monaghan
Francis Joseph Monaghan (October 30, 1890—November 13, 1942) was the fourth Roman Catholic Bishop of Ogdensburg (1939-1942).
Francis Monaghan was born in Newark, New Jersey, to Thomas P. and Anna Loretta (née Daly) Monaghan.[8] He attended Seton Hall College in South Orange, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts (1911) and Master of Arts (1913).[9] He then studied at the Pontifical North American College in Rome, where he was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Basilio Pompilj on May 29, 1915.[10] He earned a Doctor of Sacred Theology that same year.[9]
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.[9] He served as President of Seton Hall College from 1933 to 1936.[8] He was named a Papal Chamberlain in 1934.[8]
On April 17, 1936, Monaghan was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Ogdensburg, New York, and Titular Bishop of Mela by Pope Pius XI.[10] 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.[10] Following the death of Bishop Conroy, Monaghan succeeded him as Roman Catholic Bishop of Ogdensburg on March 20, 1939.[10]
He later died from a cerebral hemorrhage at Mercy Hospital in Watertown, aged 52.[8]
