James Devlin (priest)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 74.162.81.59 (talk) at 17:46, 12 June 2017 (I added a link to an account of Father Joe's work in Songkhla Refugee Camp in Thailand.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Father Joe Devlin was one of the three American Jesuits during the Vietnam War that went to Vietnam and helped the refugees.[citation needed] He was important in securing the passage of several thousand Cambodian refugees to America.[citation needed] He built an orphanage in Thailand which housed, fed, and schooled several hundred abandoned children.[citation needed]

After his death, Father Joe's brother wrote his biography which he entitled "Cha".[1]

Early life

When Joe was growing up, his family lived at 431 Jersey St. in San Francisco, a few blocks from church, and also a few blocks from the local library.
