Daily News | Msgr. Michael Doyle, pastor, peace activist, poet and advocate for Camden and its people, has died at 88
A personable priest with a mellifluous brogue, Father Doyle knew how to get things done in a city where political and other obstacles could seem insurmountable. In the 1990s he inspired a campaign to pressure theto install odor control and create parks to mitigate the impact of its regional wastewater treatment plant on the residents of Waterfront South.
“He [said] we had to throw that hat [and] declare that we would build a Writers House. We were incredulous,” said Brann, a longtime Sacred Heart parishioner who lives in Philadelphia. “We had no means, no resources, it was a moon shot. But Father Doyle’s vision emboldened our group...[and] the Writers House opened in 2018.”Michael John Doyle was born on Nov. 3, 1934, in the farming hamlet of Rossduff, County Longford, Ireland. His family made a living mostly by selling eggs.
Father Doyle also taught at Villanova University, where he earned a master’s degree in education in 1962 and later served as an assistant pastor at diocesan parishes in Cape May County and in the City of Camden, including St. Joan of Arc in the city’s Fairview section. Father Doyle was named pastor of Sacred Heart church in 1974 and often said he wasn’t sure if the appointment was a reward or a punishment. Just a year earlier, he and other members of the “Camden 28,” a group of antiwar activists who in 1971 broke into the federal courthouse in the city to destroy draft board records,“Michael wasn’t sure why he had been sent to Sacred Heart,” Mulligan said. “The parish at the time was just about as low as it could go.
