Jerome Daniel Hannan (November 29, 1896 – December 15, 1965) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as bishop of the Diocese of Scranton from 1954 until his death in 1965.
Jerome Hannan died in Rome on December 15, 1965, where he was attending the closing session of the Second Vatican Council; he was age 69.[1]
In 2018, the University of Scranton renamed Hannan Hall after a Pennsylvania grand jury determined that he covered up child sex abuse by clergy in the diocese.[3]
