ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST

Saints celebrated on the 16th of August

SERVANT OF GOD WILLIE DOYLE, PRIEST


William Joseph Gabriel Doyle ("Willie") was born to Hugh and Christine Doyle on March 3, 1873 in Dalkey, Dublin. 

The youngest of seven children, he became a Catholic priest and Jesuit. He was ordained on July 28, 1907 and took his final vows on February 2, 1909. Afterwards he served on the Jesuit mission team, travelling around Ireland and Britain preaching parish missions and conducting retreats. 

During the First World War, he was serving as military chaplain to the Royal Dublin Fusiliers and was killed while administering the Sacraments to wounded soldiers on August 16, 1917 at Langemarck, Belgium. His body was initially pulled away to a place away from the firing line, but that area got bombed very soon after and his mortal remains were lost.

Fr Doyle is a candidate for sainthood and the case “progressing well” according to Bishop of Meath Tom Dennihan, speaking in February 2025.

FATIMA APPARITION - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August Marian Feast Days WELCOME! FATIMA APPARITION - AUGUST 13 The Fatima Children “BUT IN THE END MY IMMACULATE HEART WILL TRIUMPH.” But in the end my Immaculate Heart will triumph. The Holy Father will consecrate Russia to me; it will be converted, and a certain period of peace will be granted to the world. THE AUGUST 13 EVENTS On August 13, the children were in jail at Ourem. The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady. In disgust, the administrator finally freed them. A large number of people, not knowing that the children had been kidnapped, went to the Cova for the scheduled appearance of the Lady. At noon, there was a loud clap of thunder. Then, according to an eyewitness: “Right after the thunder came a flash, and immediately we all noticed a little cloud, very white, beautiful and bright,...

ST JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS - 13 AUGUST

  ALL SAINTS CELEBRATED IN AUGUST Saints celebrated on the 13th of August WELCOME! SAINT JOHN BERCHMANS, RELIGIOUS   (Patron Saint of Altar Servers.) The eldest boy of a poor cordwainer, in a small Belgian town, John was ever a dutiful, prayerful, and studious child. Our Lord called him when but young to leave his father and his father’s house, to serve Him in the Society of Jesus.  And because he was so good a son, it cost his father much to give him up to God; but he was too good a Christian to refuse outright.  HE WAS SENT TO ROME John had hardly taken his religious vows when he was sent to the centre of Christendom, the holy city of Rome. His modesty, his purity, shone out as great virtue always does; and the young laymen who attended the lectures would come to gaze upon his beautiful and holy face, and go away the better for the sight. GREAT VIRTUE Three short years, and his last sickness found him sighing for heaven, and three days before the great feast of Mar...
