February 11, 2005 - Archdiocese of Boston Announces Priests No Longer in the Clerical State

(Boston, Massachusetts) February 11, 2005…The Archdiocese of Boston today announced that the Holy See has determined that Robert D. Fay, Kelvin Iguabita, Bernard Lane and Robert Ward are no longer in the clerical state.

Loss of the clerical state means that none of these men may function in any capacity as a priest, with the exception of offering absolution to the dying. Since these men are no longer counted among the priests of the Archdiocese of Boston, they cease to receive any financial support from the Archdiocese.
