Do you know what parish he is in.

Go to USCCB site, then Archdioces/Diocese, then parishes and you should locate him. If that fails you can email the Archdicocese about his whereabouts. Maybe he is of their staff?? (Hopefully wrong there, Salvation!)

Smedleybutler found Fr. Coyne's e-mail address. He is actually in charge of the Liturgy for the Archdiocese of Boston and he teaches at the seminary. He does not have his own parish.

I'm not doubting the fact that Mr. Meehan is celibate, he said he is (was) and I'll take his words at face value. He should have been bounced out of the seminary because he is a loose cannon and following down the road of Fr. Shanley... openly expressing his "gayness" and making that the center of his life. My problem is with Fr. Coyne's statement that seems to say that admittance to the seminary and subsequent ordination depends on adherence to celibacy... homosexual tendencies don't matter. I have a problem with that when the Vatican expressly said back in 1961 that homosexuals should not be admitted to seminaries. Haven't we learned the lesson?

Hello. Father Coyne is actually the director of Pre-theology at St. John's Seminary. You can check out the St. John's Seminary website at www.sjsc.edu
