In 1784, Carroll was made Superior of Missions in the United States of North America, establishing a hierarchy in the United States and removing the Catholic Church in the U.S. from the authority of the vicar apostolic of London. He was appointed Bishop of Baltimore on November 6, 1789, by Pope Pius VI, becoming the first bishop in the United States. In 1791 Bishop Carroll convened the first synod of priests in the U.S. He became the first Roman Catholic archbishop in the US in 1808 when Baltimore was elevated to an archdiocese. Archbishop Carroll founded Georgetown University, a Catholic university in Georgetown, Washington, DC. It is the oldest Catholic university in the United States of America, and the first Jesuit one, having been founded on January 23, 1789. Today, it is one of 28 member institutions of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.
