A graduate of [[Phillips Academy]], Andover in 1846, in 1853 Grafton graduated from [[Harvard University]] with a degree in law,<ref name="Bishop"/> but he found himself drawn toward the ordained ministry. Grafton studied theology under [[William Whittingham (bishop)|William Whittingham]], [[Episcopal Diocese of Maryland|Bishop of Maryland]], and was ordained deacon on Dec. 23, 1855.

=== Karriere ===
Grafton began his ordained ministry as assistant at [[Reisterstown, Maryland]].<ref name="Bishop"/> On May 30, 1858, he was ordained priest.<ref name="Bishop"/> He then served as curate at [[St. Paul's Episcopal Church (Baltimore, Maryland)|St. Paul's Episcopal Church]] in Baltimore and chaplain of the deaconesses of the [[Episcopal Diocese of Maryland]].

At the close of the Civil War, Grafton went to Britain. With [[Richard Meux Benson]] and [[Simeon Wilberforce O'Neill]] he co-founded the [[Society of St. John the Evangelist]] (SSJE), also known as the Cowley Fathers.

Grafton returned to the United States and, in 1872, became fourth rector of the [[Church of the Advent (Boston)|Church of the Advent]] in Boston. A jurisdictional dispute concerning Grafton's overseas religious superior led to his withdrawal from the SSJE. Grafton also helped establish the American Congregation of Saint Benedict; and in 1888 he was a founder of the [[Sisterhood of the Holy Nativity]], along with Mother Ruth Margaret.

=== Bischofsamt ===
Grafton was [[consecrated]] bishop on December 15, 1888 at [[St. Paul's Cathedral, Fond du Lac|the Cathedral Church of St. Paul the Apostle, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin]] by William E. McLaren, [[Episcopal Diocese of Chicago|Bishop of Chicago]]; Alexander Burgess, [[Episcopal Diocese of Quincy|Bishop of Quincy]]; and George F. Seymour, [[Episcopal Diocese of Springfield|Bishop of Springfield]]. During his tenure as bishop, Grafton spearheaded a great expansion the [[Episcopal Diocese of Fond du Lac]], much of it driven by contributing much of his own personal wealth and soliciting contributions from many of his wealthy friends back east. He also left behind a legacy of printed works, sermons and essays.

In 1900 Grafton was chief consecrator of [[Reginald Heber Weller]] as [[bishop coadjutor]] of Fond Du Lac. The liturgy of the consecration was controversial. The Russian Orthodox bishop of Alaska, [[Saint Tikhon]] was present as well as {{Interlanguage link multi|Antoni Kozlowski|pl|3=Antoni Kozłowski}} of the [[Polish National Catholic Church]]. Grafton was photographed with these other bishops wearing copes and miters (which was not widely accepted in the Episcopal Church at that time). The photo became known as the "[[Fond du Lac Circus]]".
