About Samuel Mulledy
- Samuel A.
- Mulledy (; March 27, 1811 – January 8, 1866) was an American Catholic priest and Jesuit who served as President of Georgetown College in 1845.
- Born in Virginia, he was the brother of Thomas F.
- Mulledy, who was a prominent 19th-century Jesuit in the United States and who was also president of Georgetown.
- As a student at Georgetown, Samuel was one of the founding members of the Philodemic Society, and proved to be a distinguished student, which resulted in his being sent to Rome to complete his higher education and be ordained to the priesthood.
- Upon his return to the United States, he was named president of Georgetown, but sought to be relieved of the position after just several months. Mulledy then became a severe alcoholic, and was expelled from the Society of Jesus in 1850.
- He took up ministerial work at congregations throughout the northeastern United States, remaining at each for no more than a few years.
- Finally, controlling his alcoholism, he became chaplain to Archbishop John Hughes and was assigned as an assistant at the Church of St.
- Lawrence O'Toole in New York City (later known as St.
- Ignatius Loyola), where he eventually became pastor in 1863 and lived out the remainder of his life.
- On his deathbed, he petitioned the Jesuit provincial superior to allow him to be readmitted to the Society; four days before his death, his request was granted and he professed his vows.
