I was an alter girl with him in Shearwater, NS. I joined in 1986. Was wondering what became of him. Sorry to hear of his passing.

I was just looking through a bible given to me by Father Doyan in Oct 1973 when I was undergoing basic military training in Cornwallis NS. I was saddened to see of his passing. In one short conversation during that time he changed the way I understood my relationship with God. He made it more personal and direct; better. He will not have known of course, but over the past 50 years I have referenced that one simple conversation to many people. He was what a priest should be. God bless.

Just learned of the passing away of Father Doyon. We were fortunate to get to know him in Halifax from 1988 to 1991 and later as a pastor at ast-Partrick´s church. An extraordinary person, great with kids and and an inspiration to adults. A great loss. May he rest in peace.

It has been a long time since I lived in the Sherbrooke area, and was not one of Father Doyon´s parishioners. This gentle, kind, caring man was a shining example of what we should strive for , so human. He knew how to reach out to those grieving, but also how to celebrate the joy of marriage with a young couple by dancing at their wedding. Condolences to all who will miss him.
