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.
