Alfred James Jolson, S.J., (June 18, 1928 – March 21, 1994), was an American prelate of the Catholic Church who served as the Bishop of Reykjavík from 1988 until his death in 1994.[1]
After several years of teaching in various Jesuit educational institutions in the United States (including Saint Joseph's University, Philadelphia), Italy, Zimbabwe (where he taught at St. George's College in Harare)[citation needed] and Iraq, Jolson was appointed to the Diocese of Reykjavík by Pope John Paul II in 1987. Jolson died suddenly in 1994.[2]
