Walworth grad­u­at­ed from Un­ion Coll­ege in Sche­nec­ta­dy, New York, plan­ning to be a law­yer, but he chose the min­is­try in­stead. He at­tend­ed the Gen­er­al The­o­lo­gic­al Sem­in­ary in New York Ci­ty, and was or­dained a Ro­man Ca­tho­lic priest in Hol­land in 1848. He served first as a mis­sion­ary, then was as­signed to St. Pe­ter’s Church in Troy, New York. He tried to re­sume mis­sion­ary work lat­er with the Paul­ist Fathers, but poor health forced him to a less ri­go­rous field, and he be­came pas­tor at St. Ma­ry’s Church in Al­ba­ny, New York.
