Summary

A January 2021 Beaver Island Forum contribution reported that Father Jim Siler had been reassigned from Holy Cross Parish after serving there since 2015. The same contribution linked archived recordings of his last official Masses and his 2017 ordination.

Evidence limits

This record relies on a participant’s factual account and links to a local video archive, not a diocesan announcement or parish minutes. The effective date and reason for reassignment remain unverified here, and the thread’s allegations about an organized campaign are preserved only as unverified commentary, not as historical findings.

Sources

  1. The thread contains community responses to Father Jim Siler’s departure. Joe Moore’s January 11 contribution says Siler was reassigned, identifies his five-year assignment context and November 1, 2015 administrator appointment, and links archived recordings of his last official Masses and ordination. The thread does not preserve a diocesan reassignment notice or independently verify the exact effective date; participants’ claims of an organized campaign are not adopted as findings.
