Biography

Daniel Mueggenborg was born in Okarche, Oklahoma, to Paul Bernard and Dolores Lucille (née Kerntke) Mueggenborg. He received his early education at the parochial school at St. Francis Xavier Church in Stillwater, Oklahoma, where he attended mass and served as an altar boy.[1] Mueggenborg was a Boy Scout and received the Eagle Scout Award in 1980.[1]

Mueggenborg studied at Oklahoma State University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree in geology in 1984. Long opposed to the notion of becoming a priest, he served at a mass celebrated by Blessed Stanley Rother in Spring 1981, mere months before Rother's martyrdom, inspiring him to pursue the priesthood.[1] After college, Mueggenborg entered seminary, studying at St. Meinrad Seminary in Saint Meinrad, Indiana, and the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.[2] As a seminarian, Mueggenborg worked alongside the Missionaries of Charity to serve the poor in Rome, spent a summer as a hospital minister in intensive care units and cardiac wards at St. John Medical Center and spent another summer in Mugumu, Tanzania, working alongside Maryknoll Missionaries.[1]

Mueggenborg was ordained to the diaconate on April 6, 1989, at St. Peter's Basilica and had an audience with Pope John Paul II at the Apostolic Palace the following day.[1] On July 14, 1989, Mueggenborg was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Tulsa. During his post-ordination year of studies, Father Mueggenborg served as a chaplain to the Missionaries of Charity convent at San Gregorio Magno al Celio in Rome, where he celebrated mass attended by St. Teresa of Calcutta.[1] Bishop Edward James Slattery named Father Mueggenborg a Monsignor in 2004. As a priest of the Diocese of Tulsa, Monsignor Mueggenborg served as a chaplain to Bishop Kelley High School, director of the Newman Center and religion professor at the University of Tulsa, pastor of two parishes in Tulsa and one in Bixby, Oklahoma, and assisted in seminary formation as Vice Rector of the Pontifical North American College. Additionally, he served on the boards of directors for Ascension Healthcare and Catholic Charities of Tulsa.[3]

Auxiliary Bishop of Seattle

Pope Francis appointed Mueggenborg auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Seattle on April 6, 2017.[4][5] On May 31, 2017, Mueggenborg was consecrated as a bishop by Archbishop J. Peter Sartain of Seattle.
