As mentioned in the show's title, Father Dowling (Tom Bosley) was a Catholic piest who solved mysteries. He was aided by Sister Steve (Tracy Nelson), who grew up in the projects. The housekeeeper is Marie (Mary Wickes). Father Prestwick (James Stephens) was the Archbishop equivalent to the "annoying neighbor" motif. The last person in the splash panel is Jessica Fletcher of Murder, She Wrote, that has nothing to do with any of this.
