stan’s College, and was then appointed priest'

at Kincora, at that time called Southwest Be- deque, having charge also Of missions at Hope River, Seven Mile Bay, Kelly’s Cross and St. Ann’s.

On the oc- casion of the celebration of the silver jubi- lee of his ordination, Laval University con— ferred on him the degree of Doctor of Di- vinity. Father Doyle has been indefati- gable in his efforts to advance the interests of his church wherever he has been located and while at Summerside was instrumental in building a brick church and convent build- ing, also presbyteries at HOpe River, Kin- cora and Kelly’s Cross, and since coming to Vernon River he has made several valu- able improyments to the church here, hav-

' ing installed a new organ and a complete

steam heating system. He has been ever in favor of such movements as will redound to the best interests of the community. In politics he has supported the Conservative party, though not radical, and fratemally he is a member 0f the Catholic Mutual Benefit Association. A man of knowledge, deep piety and of genial disposition, Father Doyle has endeared himself to the people with whom he is associated as spiritual over- seer, and also enjoys the confidence and re- spect of everyone who knows him, regard- less of religious afliliation.
