In 1923, the funds to build a Catholic High School were given
to the Archdiocese by Mrs. McBride as a memorial to her
husband, William Cullen McBride, an outstanding Catholic
layman. In the words of the late Cardinal Glennon, Mr. McBride
was “a man who saw and understood the questions of his
day, and even foresaw those of the future. He realized the
need for educating the hearts and minds of youth so as to fit
them for facing the problems of life.”

Under the guidance of the Brothers of Mary, McBride opened
in 1925. During its 47 years, McBride rose to become a
landmark and a milestone in education. Situated on the
northwest corner of Kingshighway and Cote Brilliante Ave.,
this limestone educational institution yearly molded and
shaped the lives of six hundred young men. Graduates
passed through her famous colonnades each year well
prepared to meet their moral and civic responsibilities in an
adult world. For a variety of reasons, the school closed in
1971.
Born Feb. 6, 1950, Timothy Michael Dolan was the first child of Shirley Radcliffe Dolan and the late Robert Dolan. Bishop Dolan has two sisters and two brothers.

The Bishop was baptized at Immaculate Conception Parish, Maplewood, Mo. The family subsequently moved to Ballwin, Mo., and the newly founded Holy Infant Parish.

In 1964 Bishop Dolan began his high school seminary education at St. Louis Preparatory Seminary South in Shrewsbury, Mo. From 1968-1972 his seminary
foundation continued at Cardinal Glennon College where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy. At the invitation of Cardinal John Joseph Carberry, then
Archbishop of St. Louis, Dolan completed his priestly formation at the Pontifical North American College in Rome where he earned a License in Sacred Theology at the
Pontifical University of St. Thomas.

On June 19, 1976, he was ordained to the priesthood at his home parish by the Auxiliary Bishop Edward T. O'Meara of St. Louis. Dolan first served as associate pastor
at Immacolata Parish in Richmond Heights, Mo., until 1979 when he began studies for a doctorate in American Church History at the Catholic University of America.
Before completing the doctorate, Dolan lived for one year in the Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, completing research on the late Archbishop Edwin O'Hara, whose
life and ministry was the subject of his doctoral dissertation.

On his return to St. Louis, Dolan served as associate pastor of Cure of Ars Parish in Shrewsbury, Mo., from 1983-1985, and then from 1985-1987 at Little Flower Parish
in Richmond Heights, Mo. During that time he was also liaison for the late Archbishop John L. May in the restructuring of the college and theology programs of the
Archdiocesan seminary system.

In 1987 Dolan began a five-year term of service as Secretary to the Apostolic Nunciature in Washington, D.C., assisting Cardinal Pio Laghi and then Cardinal Agostino
Cacciavillan. When Dolan returned to St. Louis in 1992 he was appointed vice rector of Kenrick-Glennon Seminary, serving also as director of spiritual formation and
professor of church history. He was also adjunct professor of theology at Saint Louis University.

In 1994 Bishop Dolan was appointed rector of the Pontifical North American College in Rome where he served until June 2001. While in Rome he also served as
visiting professor of Church History at the Pontifical Gregorian University and as a faculty member in the Department of Ecumenical Theology at the Pontifical University
of St. Thomas Aquinas. Dolan's work in seminary education has influenced the life and ministry of a great number of priests of the new millennium. A collection of his
Rector's Conferences at the North American College, published in book form in 2000 by "Our Sunday Visitor Press, " "Priests for the Third Millennium," has been
enthusiastically received by bishops, priests, seminarians and the laity.

On June 19, 2001--the 25th anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood--Pope John Paul II named Dolan Titular Bishop of Natchez and Auxiliary Bishop of St. Louis.
Bishop Dolan chose for his Episcopal motto the profession of faith of St. Peter: Ad Quem Ibimus-Lord to whom shall we go? (John 6:68).

Pope John Paul II named Bishop Dolan the 10th Archbishop of the Milwaukee Archdiocese June 25, 2002.

Msgr. Schilly was very close to Tim Dolan while he was a seminarian, from Holy Infant while he was pastor.
