The brothers Mulcrone
Every year near the start of summer, priests across the archdiocese move to different assignments. Pastors retire. Associates become pastors. Priests start sabbaticals. Taking part in the change this year are two brothers who have long served unique congregations. They are Father Joe Mulcrone, who is retiring and stepping down as director of the archdiocese’s Office for the Deaf, and Father Tom Mulcrone, who is stepping down as chaplain to the Chicago Fire Department and remaining as full-time chaplain to St. Mary of Providence, 4200 N. Austin Ave.
