Father Ivor J.E. Daniel was a Roman Catholic priest who ministered overseas during WWI, in Edmonton and as a missionary in British Columbia. Born in England in 1883, he moved to Edmonton sometime after 1906. Father Daniel was ordained in 1913 and assigned as an assistant priest at St. Joachim's Church. With the outbreak of WWI, he was sent overseas to serve as a chaplain. When he returned he ministered at St. Joseph's Church before accepting missionary duties in British Columbia. Father Daniel also served as a justice of the peace, acted as a juvenile court judge, translated the "Appendix to the Roman Ritual," and was the author of Travelling for Christ and a series of missionary sketches that appeared in the Catholic Register in 1922.
