Biography
Early life
Jeremiah Harty was born in
Jesuits in high school.[2] He attended St. Louis University, from where he graduated in 1872.[3] He studied theology at St. Vincent's College in Cape Girardeau.[2]
Priesthood
Harty was
ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of St. Louis by Archbishop Patrick Ryan on April 28, 1878.[4] His first assignment was as assistant pastor of St. Lawrence O'Toole Parish in St. Louis.[3] He then served a pastoral role at St. Bridget Parish, where he remained until he became founding pastor of St. Leo Parish in 1888.[1]
Archbishop of Manila
On June 6, 1903, Harty was appointed
consecration on August 15, 1903 in Rome from Cardinal Francesco Satolli, with Archbishops Diomede Panici and Amilcare Tonietti serving as co-consecrators, in Rome.[4]
During his term, Harty was increasingly troubled by the propagation of the
De La Salle College in Paco, the first Christian Brother school in the country. [1]
Bishop of Omaha
On May 16, 1916, Harty was appointed bishop of what was then Diocese of Omaha with the personal title of archbishop. He filled the vacancy of Bishop Richard Scannell, who died on January 8, 1916. [2] In 1917, Harty expressed skepticism of Father Edward J. Flanagan and his establishment of Boys Town, a home for troubled boys in Boys Town, Nebraska. However, Harty would later endorse the goals of Boys Town. The actor Minor Watson portrayed the bishop of Omaha in the 1938 film Boys Town.
On October 29, 1927, Jeremiah Harty died at age 73.
