    Great news…Father Doyle will be more noticed in the U.S. and certainly will be befriended by many, many people.
    All the best, and God bless all who are putting so much work into this very much needed project.

      This is wonderful news! Wish we had known about it earlier, though. (We live north of Boston.) I hope you’ve invited any military chaplains in the area to attend. Next up: a visit to the East Coast … where there are lots of people of IRISH heritage !! 🙂 Thank you for arranging this first-ever visit to the USA. Dear Fr. Willie, pray for us!
