Bob MacDOUGALL, Royal Canadian Air Force Flier And Priest 1924-2004
Shot down over the North Sea, he made a pact with God, accepted
the German surrender in Denmark and then came home to take his
vows and work among hardened criminals. Later, he starred on
100 Huntley Street as a evangelical priest
By F.F. LANGAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Saturday, January
29, 2005 - Page S7
No one wants to be the last man killed in a war.
Hitler had just four days to live when Bob
MacDOUGALL found himself
floating in the dark in the North Sea. Flying Officer
MacDOUGALL
had about another 60 years to live, most of them as a Jesuit
priest, but all he knew then was that the Second World War was
almost over and his situation was desperate.
Minutes before, he had been the tail gunner in a Halifax bomber,
carrying war material to the resistance in Denmark. The crew
was with 644 Squadron and had left their base in Dorset in England
at 10 p.m. on April 26, 1945. To remain undetected by German
radar, the plane flew between 50 and 100 feet above the water.
"When we hit the west coast of Jutland, we had to climb," remembered
Father MacDOUGALL in an interview in 1988.
A short while after they made their drop, they were hit by fire
from the ground. According to Sandy
BARR, a pilot who now runs
the Squadron's historical website, their pilot ditched the plane
just off the coast. All six crew members -- one Canadian, three
New Zealanders and two Brits -- made it out alive.
The frigid water numbed his legs. Later in life, vascular problems
would confine him to a wheelchair. Father
MacDOUGALL wasn't particularly
religious then, but as he struggled in the water, he formulated
a pact. Years later, he told his brother Ian that he had made
a promise to God. "He said, 'Save me from this and I'll spend
my life doing good.' He was saved, and he kept his promise,"
said Ian MacDOUGALL.
After a spell in the water, the crew was picked up by Danish
fishermen. As soon as the crew members landed, they left the
fishermen, since the Germans shot anyone who helped a downed
airman. Father
MacDOUGALL wandered for a day or so, following
instructions from the fishermen to look for a church steeple,
since there he might find a sympathetic minister.
"I came to a brook and crossed over, but failed to see a German
sentry on the other side. He raised his gun and brought me to
a halt," recounted Father
MacDOUGALL. He and at least one other
crew member were arrested and put in a prisoner of war camp.
Their internment didn't last long. On May 7, 1945, far away at
a schoolhouse in the French city of Rheims, senior representatives
of Hitler's defeated forces signed a ceasefire and the war in
Europe was over.
In Denmark, the Germans wanted to surrender, but not to the Russians,
who were fast approaching from the East and had already occupied
an offshore island. The German command resolved to surrender
to a British or American officer, preferably a general or even
a colonel. They scoured their prisoner of war camps and all they
could come up with was a 21-year-old Canadian flying officer
who only days before had been swimming about in the North Sea.
His officer rank was the second-lowest in the Royal Canadian
Air Force, equal to a lieutenant in the army.
And that is how Bob
MacDOUGALL came to accept the surrender of
the German garrison in Denmark. He was carried through the streets
of Vejle, the town nearest his PoW camp, and hailed as a liberator.
At that moment, no one was more surprised than he. A month later,
the picture of the celebration found its way back home and the
face and name of "F/O Robert
MacDOUGALL of 107 Henry Street, Halifax,"
was splashed across the front page of the Halifax Chronicle.
Father MacDOUGALL grew up in Nova Scotia but was born in Saskatchewan,
where his father worked as a bank manager. The family moved to
Halifax when he was a tot. Ralph
MacDOUGALL was a businessmen,
and although not rich, he was successful enough to raise a brood
of children and send them all to university. He was a Presbyterian
but his wife
May
WEBB was a Roman Catholic, so young Bob went
to Saint Thomas Aquinas elementary school and St. Patrick's high
school.
His mother died when he was quite young and his father married
Gertrude MacNEIL, also a Catholic. Together, they raised his
six children, as well as two more the couple would have together.
Bob MacDOUGALL joined the Royal Canadian Air Force from high
school. He was the third member of his family to join, and all
three went overseas -- his brother Bill as a soldier in the army
and his sister Betty as an army nurse. Like everyone who joined
the air force, he hoped to be a pilot. Instead, he became a tail
gunner, the most vulnerable crew position on a Second World War
bomber.
On his return to England from Denmark, he visited his sister
at the hospital where she worked. In their happiness, a rather
raucous party developed during which "he wrecked my bicycle,"
she recalled.
When he reached Halifax, Bob
MacDOUGALL decided to attend St.
Mary's University, where he was active in organizing the hockey
team and also played football. Mindful of his promise to God,
he considered becoming a journalist and instead opted for the
priesthood. In 1950, he joined the Jesuits, the largest of all
Roman Catholic religious orders. Many of his Friends bet he wouldn't
last.
"It was tough for a war veteran who had seen the world to settle
into that routine," said Elmer
MacGILLIVRAY, who attended the
Jesuit
Novitiate with Father
MacDOUGALL. "He was older than everyone
else and the rules were tough for him."
Life was lived in silence, from rising at 5: 30 a.m. to chapel
at 5: 55 a.m., followed by prayer from 6 to 7 a.m., a mass, and
then breakfast 30 minutes later. "You could ask for sugar, but
otherwise it was total silence," said Mr.
MacGILLIVRAY, who later
gave up the priesthood.
Because of his age and experience, Bob
MacDOUGALL was ordained
after 11 years instead of the usual 13. One of his first assignments
was Loyola High School in Montreal. There he coached sports teams
and taught several subjects, including Latin.
In one session, the boys learned to conjugate scio, the verb
to know. In Latin, the words "I know," "you know," "he knows"
are scio, scis, scit, with the "c" pronounced as an "h." His
14-year-old pupils fell about laughing at the sound of scit.
To help them get over it, Father
MacDOUGALL had them conjugate
the verb aloud 30 times. The giggles soon disappeared.
Father MacDOUGALL had a varied life. He taught in schools, worked
in parishes, was the priest at a veterans hospital and even worked
as a missionary in South America. For several years, he served
as the chaplain at Stoney Mountain Penitentiary near Winnipeg.
There, he started a choir and convinced parishes in the area
that his singing prisoners posed no danger. One of those he convinced
was Elmer MacGILLIVRAY, who was then the parish priest at St.
Ignatius of Winnipeg.
"On one trip, he stopped and he lost one prisoner when he escaped
for a while. He was embarrassed about that," said Mr.
MacGILLIVRAY
who now lives in Edmonton.
Working at the maximum-security jail was tough and Father
MacDOUGALL
sometimes found it depressing to deal with hardened criminals.
Often dismissed by cynical and intractable convicts as just another
man in a dog collar to offer them empty promises and meaningless
rituals, Father
MacDOUGALL came to believe he was a failure and
that the promise he made on that black, North Sea night had come
to nothing. He was convinced he was a catastrophe as a prison
priest and had not done good or helped any in his congregation.
The truth, of course, was quite different. Until he learned otherwise,
he grappled with more immediate demons at Stoney Mountain and
found himself drinking too much. In the end, Father
MacDOUGALL
succeeded in conquering both depression and alcohol.
Perhaps the most astounding part of Father
MacDOUGALL's religious
life was his born-again status as a Christian evangelist. That
occurred while working in a parish north of San Diego, California.
Afterward, he remained a Roman Catholic and a Jesuit but embraced
the scripture, the words of the Bible, and became the only Roman
Catholic priest to preach on 100 Huntley Street, the Toronto-based
evangelical Christian television channel.
He appeared on hundreds of television shows and started his own
Food for Life program. Many conventional Catholics found his
evangelism shocking and lodged complaints, but he persisted.
"There are Catholic evangelicals, and he served them," said Rev.
Jacques MONET, the archivist at Jesuit headquarters in Toronto.
Father MacDOUGALL was unapologetic about his evangelism. "I know
God wanted me to be an evangelist to the world -- my Roman Catholic
world," he said. A natural performer, he appeared on television
and at prayer meetings, sometimes in his Roman collar, other
times in an open-necked shirt.
Even his brothers and sisters, all of them religious Catholics,
were sometimes startled at what their brother was up to. For
all that, they are intensely proud of the homeless mission he
set up in Toronto.
"I think one of the highlights of his life was setting up the
Good Shepherd Refuge on Queen Street East near Parliament [in
Toronto]. He wanted to feed the street people, and he worked
at gathering food from local restaurants to feed them" said his
brother Ian. "He started it in the mid 1970s and it's still open."
He made good on that promise.
Robert Leonard
MacDOUGALL was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.,
on February 27, 1924. He died on December 26, 2004. He was 80.
He is survived by his brother Ian of Brampton, Ontario, his brother
Lorne of Truro, Nova Scotia, and by his sisters Bette
COLFORD
and Margaret
BOUDREAU of Halifax.
