Student priest of the Archdiocese of New York. Died at the age of 25 while studying at the Pontifical North American College. The College's historical records list the date of his ordination to the priesthood as May 25, 1872, but with some uncertainty.
The American College in Rome (1953), an official history of the College, has this to say about Fr. Mahoney:
For the next two years [after 1872], [College Rector Silas] Chatard did without a vice-rector, principally because he had no graduates who measured up to the job. He might have thought of Father Michael Mahoney, a New York priest who had stayed over for his doctorate and remained on even after winning it. There is reason to believe that Dr. Mahoney did give him some of the assistance which a vice-rector usually provided. But it is quite likely that if Chatard did entertain the possibility of having Mahoney as an official lieutenant, he was dissuaded by the young priest's increasingly bad health. Stricken with a heart ailment, the sweet-tempered and beloved young priest died on April 26, 1874 [sic].
Sources listed by the book record the following:
Michael Mahoney, say the College records, was born at Cork, Ireland, July 8, 1849; entered the College for the Archdiocese of New York, October 18, 1868; and was ordained, May 25, 1872. He died April 27, 1874, and is buried in the American College mortuary chapel, Campo Verano, Rome.
