The Uachtarán Award Recipient Monsignor Michael J. Doyle Pastor, Sacred Heart Parish, Camden, NJ

The Uachtarán Award is named in honor of the President of Ireland, or Uachtaran na hEireann, in Irish. In the 1990s, Mary Robinson, the seventh President of Ireland, transformed the role of the President by developing a new sense of Ireland’s economic, political, and cultural links with other countries and cultures, especially those of the Irish Diaspora. Michael Higgins, the ninth and current President of Ireland and the former Minister for arts, culture, and the Gaeltacht in the 1990s, has excelled in this cultural and economic “building bridges” role.

Born on November 3, 1934 on a farm in Rossduff, County Longford, Ireland, Monsignor Doyle was educated at St. Peter’s Seminary in Wexford, Ireland. He was ordained a priest on May 31, 1959 by Bishop James Staunton. Monsignor Doyle was recruited from the seminary for the Diocese of Camden and arrived on September 14, 1959. His first assignments included teaching in diocesan Catholic high schools and serving as assistant priest in various parishes, before being appointed as Pastor of Sacred Heart Parish on November 11, 1974. Monsignor oversees Sacred Heart Camden Catholic school, which educates 228 children from South Camden, most of whom are Baptist.

Monsignor earned a Master’s Degree in Education from Villanova University in 1962, and in 2007, he received an honorary Doctorate in Humanities from Villanova. Monsignor also received an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from Chestnut Hill College in May 2010, and honorary Doctor of Divinity Degree from Ursinus College on May 10, 2013.

Monsignor has been serving the community in Camden tirelessly since 1974. In 1992, he established a free medical clinic which served people with no medical benefits until 2010. He founded the Heart of Camden Housing in 1984, which renovates abandoned houses and assists low-income families to become homeowners. With the assistance of Othmar Carli, a renowned artist, Monsignor restored the artistic beauty of the historic Sacred Heart Church.
