He received his secondary education from the Marist fathers at St Bede's College, Christchurch, of which he was dux two years in a row.

He was an alumnus of the Pontifical University of St Thomas Aquinas (the Angelicum) of the Dominicans. He was ordained a Catholic priest in Rome on 7 March 1936, the feast day of St Thomas Aquinas.

He published several books and also worked in various colleges and parishes throughout New Zealand.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}} He achieved public fame through his books and, especially after his retirement from teaching and from priestly ministry, for his numerous letters to the editor in newspaper and journal columns to defend the traditional position of the Catholic Church in relation to many issues.[4] A Wellington journalist one described Duggan as "chief among the divine publicists".[3] Bibliography
