Decorated for his bravery during the Second World War, Ontario's oldest Roman Catholic priest has died at age of 106 in a Courtland seniors home.
The Diocese of London says Reverend Michael Dalton may have been the oldest Catholic priest in Canada.
Born on May 5th, 1902 near Goderich, Dalton was one of 10 children, and he was ordained as a priest in 1932.
Dalton retired in 1970 and lived at a retirement home in Courtland until his death.
