In 2019, Father Creagh was appointed president and rector of Christ the King Seminary in East Aurora, New York. The Diocese of Buffalo closed the seminary the following year.
Father Creagh, who is currently senior vice president for mission integration at Catholic Health, Long Island, succeeds Father Stephen Burr, who was named the Detroit seminary’s rector in 2021.
Last July, Archbishop Weisenburger fired three seminary professors who had been critical of Pope Francis. Archbishop Weisenburger was installed as Detroit’s archbishop in March 2025.
