Summary

John Michael Gallagher was ordained at St. Andrew Church in Manitowoc on July 11, 1971. The Beaver Beacon says Bishop Aloysius J. Wycislo presided and that Gallagher remained at St. Andrew pending final assignment.

Evidence and limits

This is a source-bounded ordination event. The newspaper identifies the date, church, bishop, and pending assignment but does not supply a diocesan register, full list of concelebrants beyond the names printed in the notice, or later ministry history.
