Biography
Mulrooney was born in Brooklyn, New York, to Patrick and Katherine (née Gibbons) Mulrooney.[1] He attended Cathedral College in Brooklyn from 1921 to 1924, and graduated from St. Mary's Seminary in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1926.[1] He then studied at the Sulpician Seminary of the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he earned a Bachelor of Sacred Theology degree.[1]
He was ordained to the priesthood in Washington on June 10, 1930.[2] Following his return to New York, he was assigned as a curate at St. Gerard Majella Church in Hollis, where he remained for two years.[1] He taught at Cathedral College from 1932 until 1952, when he became its rector.[3]
On February 24, 1959, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of Brooklyn and titular bishop of Valentiniana by Pope John XXIII.[2] He received his episcopal consecration on the following April 22 from Bishop Bryan Joseph McEntegart, with Bishops James Griffiths and John Joseph Carberry serving as co-consecrators.[2] As an auxiliary bishop, he served as pastor of St. Jerome's Church in Flatbush from 1959 to 1972.[3] Upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75, he resigned as auxiliary bishop on January 13, 1981.[2]
He died at the Queen of Peace Residence in Queens Village, at age 83.[3]
