"[3] McEntegart then served as a curate at Sacred Heart Parish in New York City until 1923, when he was transferred to St. Patrick's Cathedral.

He received his episcopal consecration on August 3, 1943, from Archbishop Amleto Cicognani, with Bishops Edmund Gibbons and Stephen Joseph Donahue serving as co-consecrators, at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
