Wilfrid Emmett Doyle (February 18, 1913—September 14, 2003) was a Canadian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Bishop of Nelson from 1958 to 1989. ==Biography== Wilfrid Doyle was born Calgary, Alberta, as one of twelve children; his ancestors had immigrated to Canada from County Wexford in Ireland. He attended Sacred Heart School and St. Joseph's High School in Edmonton, and the University of Alberta, from where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1935. He also studied theology at St. Joseph's Seminary in Edmonton. Doyle was ordained to the priesthood by Archbishop John MacDonald on June 5, 1938, and continued his studies at St. Paul's University Seminary in Ottawa, earning his doctorate in canon law in 1949. He later became chancellor of the Archdiocese of Edmonton. On November 9, 1958, Doyle was appointed the third Bishop of Nelson, British Columbia, by Pope John XXIII. Doyle received his episcopal consecration on the following December 3 from Archbishop Giovanni Panico, with Archbishop Michael O'Neill and Bishop Francis Allen serving as co-consecrators. A leading figure in Canadian catechetics, he taught the ''Come to the Father'' catechetical series and was named head of the Canadian Bishops' Office for Religious Education when the series was expanded; he later stated, "My spiritual life began when I started teaching the ''Come to the Father'' series". Doyle also served as national director of the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (1962-1986), President of the then Office for Religious Education (1966-1970), director of the National Office of Religious Education (1966-1967), and Chairman of the Episcopal Commission for Religious Education (1966-1969). He attended the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965. In 1976, he appointed Sr. Katherine Meagher as the chancellor of his diocese, making her the first woman to hold that post in Canada.〔Western Catholic Reporter.
