George Aloysius Carrell, S.J., D.D. George Aloysius Carrell was born on June 13, 1803, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His grandfather, a native of Ireland, came to this country in the years before the Revolutionary War. After attending the seminary at Mt. Mary’s College in Emmitsburg and Georgetown College, George Aloysius was ordained to the priesthood on December 20, 1827, at St. Augustine Church, Philadelphia. In 1835, Father Carrell became a member of the Society of Jesus. He was appointed the President of the Jesuit-run St. Louis University in 1843. In 1847, he was transferred to Cincinnati and assigned to St. Xavier Preparatory School and was named Director of that same institution two years later. Father Carrell’s last appointment in Cincinnati was that of Rector of St. Xavier College, a position he held from 1851 until his appoint- ment as the first Bishop of Covington on July 29, 1853.
