Rev. Timothy Mulranen celebrated his First Mass on Sunday, May 18, at Church of the Incarnation, surrounded by the faith, love, and support of family, friends, and the parish community. Before his ordination to the priesthood, Fr. Tim served as a deacon at St. Joseph’s, where he now continues his ministry as a priest.
Originally from Mickleton, New Jersey, his vocation has deep roots—family members recall that even as a small child he would gather neighborhood friends and “pretend” to celebrate Mass, an early sign of the calling that would one day become his life’s work. Today, Fr. Tim serves with gratitude and dedication, seeking to help others grow in their relationship with Christ and the Church.
