A Franciscan, he was installed as bishop in 1673. He died two years later on 1 August 1675.<ref>[http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bduff.html Appointments of Bishop Patrick Duffy]</ref>

He was succeeded by Bishop [[Patrick Tyrrell]] in 1676. Bishop Duffy served in his position in Clogher for about two years.

According to tradition, he was buried in the graveyard attached to the pre-Reformation church at Clontibret, now the site of the Church of Ireland church. The Duffys were the ruling family of Clontibret and supplied the priests to the local parish for centuries before the end of Gaelic rule in Ulster in the early 17th century.
