Biography

A native of Youngstown, Ohio, Malone was ordained a Catholic priest for the Diocese of Youngstown on May 26, 1945.[2] On January 2, 1960, Pope John XXIII named him the Titular Bishop of Alabanda and Auxiliary Bishop of Youngstown. He was consecrated a bishop on March 24, 1960, by Bishop Emmet M. Walsh of Youngstown. The co-consecrators were Bishops Clarence George Issenmann of Columbus and John Joseph Krol, Auxiliary Bishop of Cleveland. From 1962-65 Bishop Malone attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council. Pope Paul VI appointed him the third bishop of Youngstown on May 2, 1968, following the death of Bishop Walsh. He served the diocese as its bishop for 27 years.

From 1983-86, Bishop Malone served as the President of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops/United States Catholic Conference. On December 5, 1995 Pope John Paul II accepted his resignation and he became Bishop Emeritus.[3]
