Returning to the diocese of Cleveland, Father Mooney served as a professor at the Seminary of Our Lady of the Lake, later established and headed Cathedral Latin School for boys. He held a pastorate in Youngstown, Ohio until, in 1923, he was recalled to Rome to be Spiritual Director of his own North American College.
