Individual Details

Daniel (Dan) Patrick HARNETT

(17 Jul 1906 - 17 Sep 1987)

Dan attended Mungret College in Co. Limerick after which he studied for the priesthood at the American College in Rome where it is thought he was ordained. He moved to the United States in 1932 and became a U.S. citizen in 1938, at which time he was living in Mobile, Alabama. We know he served in St. Catherine's parish, Mobile from 1942 until 1959, being appointed monsignor in 1952, and in St. Mary's parish, Mobile from 1972 until 1982 (we do not know where he ministered between 1959 and 1972). Dan was buried in Mobile so we are assuming he served most, if not all, of his life in the U.S. in Mobile.
