JEFFERSON CITY – Father Brendan Doyle will no longer be able to participate in public ministries in Jefferson City or elsewhere. A seven-person review board for the Jefferson City Diocese recommended Doyle be suspended indefinitely.
The Diocese’s Deacon Dan Joyce said the review board decided this after reviewing evidence from the investigation put on by the US Attorney’s office. Bishop Gaydos accepted the recommendation from the review board and Doyle was suspended.
The investigation started in November when a Helias High School computer technician discovered pornographic web images on Doyle’s computer.
The details of these images were not released. However, the review board said the images violated the charter protecting children and young people.
