Monsignor Edward Joseph Flanagan was born on July 13, 1886, in Leabeg, Ireland.

After attending Summerhill College in Ireland, Flanagan moved to the United States in 1904.  He then attended Mount St. Mary’s University in Maryland, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts and a Master of Arts degree in 1908.

From there, Flanagan studied at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Dunwoodie, New York and the University of Innsbruck in Austria.  He was ordained as a priest there in 1912. Flanagan then returned to the US where he led his first parish – a St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in O’Neill, Nebraska.
