Michael Francis Egan, O.F.M. (September 29, 1761 – July 22, 1814) was an Irish American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. Born in Ireland in 1761, he joined the Franciscan Order at a young age. He served as a priest in Rome, Ireland, and Pennsylvania and became known as a gifted preacher. In 1808, Egan was appointed the first Bishop of Philadelphia, holding that position until his death in 1814. Egan's tenure as bishop saw the expansion of the Catholic Church membership in his diocese, but much of his time was consumed by disputes with the lay trustees of his pro-cathedral, St. Mary's Church in Philadelphia. ==Early life and priesthood== Michael Francis Egan was born in Ireland on September 29, 1761. The exact location of his birth is uncertain. Early biographers believed Egan was possibly born in Galway, while more recent scholarship suggests it was actually Limerick. He joined the Order of Friars Minor (commonly known as the Franciscans) and studied at the Old University of Leuven and Charles University in Prague. He was ordained a priest, probably while in Prague, in 1785 or 1786. Egan advanced rapidly to positions of responsibility in the Franciscan order. He was appointed ''custos'' ("guardian") of the province of Munster in Ireland in March 1787. Later that year, he was also appointed ''custos'' of the Pontifical College at Sant’Isidoro a Capo le Case, the home of Irish Franciscans in Rome. Egan remained there until 1790, when he returned to his native Ireland and was appointed ''custos'' of Ennis. He remained in Ireland until 1787 or 1788, when he may have made a visit to the United States. After several more years as a missionary in Ireland, Egan came (or returned) to the United States in 1802.
