Rev. Michael J. Duggan, pastor of the Montrose Catholic Church, was born in the 
city of Brooklyn, New York, October 24, 1854. His parents, Michael and Mary 
Duggan, nee McGowan, were natives of Ireland, the former having emigrated to 
the United States when a young man, settling in Brooklyn. M. J. subsequently 
moved to Newberg, on the Hudson River, where he grew to manhood. He attended 
the schools of that city, after which he spent nine years at the Jesuit College, 
where he graduated in 1874, receiving the degree of bachelor of arts. After 
completing his course at this college, he passed three years at St. Josephs' 
Provincial Seminary, preparing for the priesthood. He then spent six months at 
the Salesianum in Milwaukee, and was then for three years in St. Bonaventure 
Seminary in Allegany, N.Y. Upon finishing the course of study here, Mr. Duggan was 
ordered to Kansas City by the bishop in 1881, and was ordained priest on 
September 11, of that year. After his ordination he was appointed pastor of the 
Montrose Catholic Church, and the churches at Clinton and Schell City are also in 
the charge. He is greatly devoted to his church work and is much beloved by his 
people.
