Priesthood

Lyne was ordained into the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Chicago by Cardinal Samuel Stritch in Chicago on May 1, 1943. After his ordination, Lyne was appointed as parochial vicar of Saint Mary's Parish in Riverside, Illinois. During his time there, Lyne led the effort to build a new primary school and a convent. In 1962, after 19 years at Saint Mary's, he was transferred as parochial vicar to Saint Edmund Parish, in Oak Park, Illinois. Lyne was appointed parochial vicar in 1966 for Holy Name Cathedral Parish in Chicago. A year later, he was named rector for the Cathedral Parish, maintaining that position until 1990. [1]

Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago

Pope John Paul II appointed Lyne as an auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago and titular bishop of Vamalla on October 31, 1983. He was consecrated on December 13, 1983, by then Archbishop Joseph Bernardin, with Auxiliary Bishop Alfred Abramowicz and Auxiliary Bishop Nevin Hayes serving as co-consecrators. Lyne selected as his episcopal motto: "Grace, mercy, and peace." (the first three words of Paul the Apostle's epistle to Saint Timothy. He was appointed in 1984 as vicar general and as episcopal vicar for Vicariate II in the archdiocese. [1] Lyne also led a major renovation of Holy Name Cathedral. [1]

Lyne was active in the Illinois Council of Churches and the Council of Religious Leaders of Metropolitan Chicago, and participated in a meeting of the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religious. [1]

Retirement

Lyne sent his letter of resignation as auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Chicago to Pope John Paul II when he reached the mandatory retirement age for bishops of 75. The pope accepted his resignation on January 24, 1995. However, Lyne continued to serve as episcopal vicar. [1]

Lyne died on September 25, 2013, at age 94, at the rectory of Holy Name Cathedral. When he died, Lyne was one of the oldest Catholic bishops in the United States. Visitation for Lyne took place on September 29 and 30, 2013 at Holy Name Cathedral. He was interred at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. [2] [3] [4] [5]
