Bryan Joseph McEntegart (January 5, 1893 – September 30, 1968) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Ogdensburg (1943-1953), Rector of the Catholic University of America (1953-1957), and as Bishop of Brooklyn (1957-1968).
Bryan McEntegart was born in Brooklyn in a house in the corner of DeKalb and Nostrand Avenues to Patrick and Katherine (née Roe) McEntegart. He studied at Manhattan College, from where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1913, and then at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers.
McEntegart was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal John Murphy Farley on September 8, 1917. In 1918 he earned a Master's degree from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., with a thesis entitled: "The Care of the Poor in New York in the 17th Century." He then served as a curate at Sacred Heart Church in New York City until 1923, when he was transferred to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
After pursuing his graduate studies at the New York School of Social Work (1919-1920), McEntegart was named the first director of the Children's Division in the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York. During his tenure as director, he also taught courses in child welfare at Fordham Graduate School of Social Service (1920-1930), served on the White House Committee on Child Welfare under Presidents Herbert Hoover and Franklin D. Roosevelt, and was director of the Child Welfare League of America (1931-1937). He was a curate at St. Frances de Sales Church from 1938 to 1941. In 1941 he was elected president of the National Conference of Catholic Charities. From 1941 to 1943, he served as national secretary of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association. He became the first executive director of Catholic Relief Services in 1943. He also served on the board of the United Service Organizations for fourteen years.
