Philip Joseph Garrigan (September 8, 1840 – October 14, 1919) was an Irish-born prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the first bishop of the Diocese of Sioux City, Iowa from 1902 to 1919.

Biography

Garrigan was born in County Cavan, Ireland in the Whitegate, Lisduff, Virginia area of the county.[1] in 1840. He came to the United States with his parents, and received his elementary education in the public schools of Lowell, Massachusetts.[2] He pursued his classical course at St. Charles's College, Ellicott City, Maryland, and courses of philosophy and theology at the New York Provincial Seminary of St. Joseph's at Troy, where he was ordained on June 11, 1870.[3]

After a short term as curate of St. John's Church, Worcester, Massachusetts, he was appointed director of the Troy seminary for three years; and was for fourteen years afterwards pastor of St. Bernard's Church, Fitchburg, Massachusetts. In the fall of 1888 he was appointed first vice-rector of The Catholic University of America (CUA) in Washington, D.C., which position he also held for fourteen years.[citation needed]

Garrigan was appointed Bishop of Sioux City on March 21, 1902, and consecrated at the see of his home diocese, Springfield, Massachusetts, on May 25 of the same year,[2] by the Right Rev. T.D. Beaven, and on June 18 following took possession of his see. He authored the article on the Diocese of Sioux City for the Catholic Encyclopedia.[3]

Bishop Philip Joseph Garrigan died in Sioux City, Iowa on October 4, 1919, aged 79.[2]
