He was inducted into the Catholic Education Foundation Hall of Fame in April, and on Sept. 22 he spoke to 1500 attendees at the Archdiocese of Boston’s annual Celebration of the Priesthood Dinner at Boston’s World Trade Center.

Boyle was the featured guest speaker at the dinner, followed succeeded by Cardinal Sean O’Malley.

Boyle spoke of the many good priests he has known, who inspired him during his lifetime. He ended his speech by thanking all those in attendance who continue their service to the Archdiocese.
 
“Priests are our leaders,” he said. “They are men that have responded to the call of Christ to show us all the way. The sacrifice and devotion it takes to follow that calling is something that is not lost on me, and judging by your attendance here tonight; it isn’t lost on you either. And so members of the clergy, on behalf of all of us here tonight, thank you. Thank you for standing strong in the face of all challenges you have encountered. Thank you for all that you have sacrificed to bring us all to God. I love and respect all of you for what you have done and continue to do for all of us.”
