Daniel Edward Pilarczyk (born August 12, 1934) is an American clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Cincinnati from 1982 to 2009. During his tenure the archdiocese was found guilty of illegally covering up sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests for years.
Daniel Pilarczyk was born in Dayton, Ohio, the only child of Daniel Joseph and Frieda (Hilgefort) Pilarczyk. After receiving his early education at Our Lady of Mercy and St. Anthony parochial schools, he attended Sacred Heart Latin School. At the age of fourteen, he entered St. Gregory Seminary in Cincinnati. In 1953, he was sent to continue his studies at the Urban College of Propaganda in Rome, from where he obtained a Licentiate of Philosophy (1956) and Licentiate of Sacred Theology (1960). His mother died in 1955, and his father remarried a Marie Scothorn.
Pilarczyk was ordained to the priesthood by Cardinal Grégoire-Pierre Agagianian on December 20, 1959. He remained in Rome for his postgraduate studies, and earned a Doctor of Sacred Theology from the Urban College in 1961. Upon his return to the United States, he became assistant chancellor of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and a curate at St. Louis Church. He then taught Latin and Greek at his alma mater of St. Gregory Seminary from 1963 to 1974. During this time, he received a Master's degree from Xavier University in 1965. He became rector of St. Gregory Seminary in 1968; at the age of thirty-four, he was the youngest man to be named to that position. He later earned a Ph.D. from the University of Cincinnati in 1969.
