John Timothy McNicholas, O.P. (December 15, 1877 – April 22, 1950) was an Irish-born clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church. A Dominican, he served as Bishop of Duluth (1918-1925) and Archbishop of Cincinnati (1925-1950).
Timothy McNicholas was born in Kiltimagh, County Mayo, the youngest child of Patrick J. and Mary (née Mullany) McNicholas. In 1881, he and his family emigrated to the United States, where they settled in Chester, Pennsylvania. He received his early education at Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Chester, and then attended St. Joseph's Preparatory College in Philadelphia. In 1894, at the age of seventeen, he entered the Order of Friars Preachers (more commonly known as the Dominicans) at St. Rose Priory in Springfield, Kentucky. He continued his studies at St. Joseph Priory in Somerset, Ohio, where he was ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Henry K. Moeller on October 10, 1901. He took the first name John as his religious name.
Following his ordination, Father McNicholas went to Rome to study in the Dominican studium at Santa Maria sopra Minerva, where he obtained a Doctor of Sacred Theology degree in 1904. He returned to the United States later that year, and assumed the role of master of novices at St. Joseph Priory in Somerset. The following year he was sent to Immaculate Conception College in Washington, D.C., where he served as regent of studies and professor of philosophy, theology, and canon law.
