Rev. James Doyle

Thank you, Fr. Iakovos/Jim, for the good times in Monterey, Frankfurt, and Berlin.

My friendship with Father James goes back to 1980 when I was new to Chicago and he was serving at Holy Trinity Cathedral.
I was, and still am, a conservative evangelical Christian but was interested in the insights of Orthodoxy. Father James gave some very insightful talks at the cathedral and I also visited services there quite often. I appreciated not just his homilies and lectures, but the opportunity to know him personally. I came to move near the Cathedral and often if I were...

Father Doyle was an exceptional priest! We belong to St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Hammond, In. We met Father Doyle at the festivals who greeted us with open arms! He was one of a kind and will be greatly missed! Our prayers are with the congregation as well as with his family! May his memory be eternal! The Avgerinos Family

Fr. Doyle, it was indeed a pleasure to have known you and worked with you during my time in Hegewisch. Our ecumenical ministry to the Community was itself a most fulfilling spiritual blessing. We will miss your smile and friendship along with your stories of your experiences in the Church. The Community has lost a great leader and friend. "Rest In Peace"
