Francis Charles Nagot
Francis Charles Nagot (1734–1816) was a French Roman Catholic priest, who worked for the Society of Saint-Sulpice. He is perhaps most famous for founding two Catholic teaching establishments in Baltimore, USA.
He was born at Tours on April 19, 1734. He joined the congregation of the priests of Saint-Sulpice. He gained a doctorate in theology from the University of Nantes[1] and was sent as professor of theology to the Seminary of Nantes. He was made superior of the small seminary,[2] then director of the large seminary.
The French Revolution led to his travelling to the US in 1791 and establishing St. Mary's, the first Catholic seminary and college in Baltimore.[3][4] He died at Baltimore on April 9, 1816.[5]
