One of five children, Michael Mulhall was born in Peterborough, Ontario, to Vernon and Maureen (née Hickey) Mulhall. He attended Trent University, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1985, and then furthered his studies in Rome at the Angelicum, earning a Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1988. Ordained to the priesthood on 21 July 1989, he received a Licentiate of Sacred Theology from the Augustinianum in 1991 while following the formation program at the Pontifical North American College.

Mulhall did pastoral work in Hunstville from 1991 to 1994. He then became an official of the Congregation for the Oriental Churches in the Roman Curia. Returning to the Diocese of Peterborough in 2002, he served again briefly in Huntsville and then in Hastings. In 2003, he was also named Chancellor for Spiritual Affairs, and in 2004 as Vicar General of the Diocese.

On 30 June 2007, Mulhall was appointed the eighth Bishop of Pembroke by Pope Benedict XVI. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 21 September from Archbishop Luigi Ventura, with Archbishop Terrence Prendergast, S.J., and Bishop Nicola De Angelis, C.F.I.C. serving as co-consecrators, at St. Columbkille Cathedral.
