Timothy J. Murphy, the oldest of three children, was born Aug. 31, 1935, in Queens, N.Y., to Timothy and Nora Murphy. He attended St. Bartholomew's grade school in Elmhurst, Queens, and graduated from Cathedral Seminary High School in Brooklyn. He completed his college studies at St. Mary's Seminary in Kentucky, and his theological studies at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio. He was ordained to the Catholic priesthood on May 26, 1962, for the Diocese of San Angelo. Following his ordination, Msgr. Murphy was sent to The Catholic University of America in Washington D.C., where he completed his studies in Canon Law and was awarded the Licentiate Degree.
Msgr. Murphy served as pastor at Holy Angels Church in San Angelo from 1969 to 1982; at Holy Family Church in Abilene from 1982-1996; and at St. Ann in Midland since 1996.
Additionally, he served as chancellor of the Diocese of San Angelo from 1970 to 1980, and vicar general of the diocese from 1980 to the present. Through the years, he also served as superintendent of schools, was a diocesan consulter and a member of the Presbyterial Council, the Priests' Personnel Board, the Priests' Pension Plan and the Diocesan Finance Council. He had been the judicial vicar of the diocese since 1967.
During his pastorates, Msgr. Murphy oversaw the construction of churches at Holy Angels in San Angelo in 1982, and Holy Family in Abilene in 1985, and a new office building at St. Ann, which was dedicated only a few days ago on Tuesday, Jan. 13.
He is survived by his sister, U.S. Air Force Col. Patricia "Pat" Murphy of San Antonio; his brother, Emmet Murphy of Westlake Village, Calif.; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was honored by Pope John Paul II, who in 1989 named him a Chaplain of Honor to His Holiness, and then subsequently in 1995, promoted him to Protonotary Apostolic, the highest degree of domestic prelate in the Catholic Church.
He will be particularly missed by the parishioners of St. Ann, Holy Family and Holy Angels parishes, as well as by his brother priests and all the people of the diocese.
"You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek…well done, good and faithful servant."
