Biography
Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Dougherty was educated at the University of Portland in Oregon and St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, California.[1] He was ordained to the priesthood on June 14, 1930.[2] He served as a professor at St. Edward Seminary in Kenmore, Washington (1930–34), and vice-chancellor (1934–42) and chancellor (1942–51) of the Diocese of Seattle.[1] He was also a diocesan consultor and director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith.[1]
On July 9, 1951, Dougherty was appointed the first Bishop of the newly erected Diocese of Yakima by Pope Pius XII.[2] He received his episcopal consecration on the following September 26 from Archbishop Thomas Arthur Connolly, with Bishops Charles Daniel White and Hugh Aloysius Donohoe serving as co-consecrators.[2] He attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council between 1962 and 1965. After eighteen years as Bishop of Yakima, he resigned on February 5, 1969; he was named Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, California, and Titular Bishop of Altinum by Pope Paul VI on the same date.[2] He died at age 65 and is buried at Calvary Cemetery in Yakima, WA.
