MSC entries on Wikipedia. An appeal.
At the recent Provincial Chapter, there was a proposal that we prepare entries on MSC confreres for uploading to Wikipedia. There are a few entries at the moment, Dr Rumble, Paul Stenhouse. Our Colleges and parishes do have entries.
This is the entry for Bishop John Doyle MSC. There is an error in the date of his appointment as bishop. He was episcopally ordained on February 25th 1957, so the date should be 1956.
Francis John Doyle (born in 1897 in Noorat) was an Australian clergyman and bishop for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Alotau-Sideia. He was appointed bishop in 1966. Doyle retired in 1970 and died in 1973 in Port Moresby.

So, the appeal is this – if you know of any articles on MSC confreres, or if you would like to write something, please contact me: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
At present we have over 50 in process from Jim Lilttleton’s Remarkable MSC Series with Jim’s approval (including his chapter on Bishop Doyle).
An acknowledgement of Jim’s years of research and writing to make so many of these men’s lives more accessible to us.
Any recommendations and advice welcome.
