years. There is great concern that should Fr. Coyle return to the
Diocese, that one or more of these men could potentially encounter
him and be retraumatized by the memories that would surface.
The Review Board Is grateful to you and your family for your kindness
and the Christ-like attention and care you have provided Fr. Coyle,
most notably your willingness to welcome him into your home
following his traffic accident. While acknowledging the grace of Fr.
Coyle’s repentance and the 30 plus years of apparent success he has
experienced in living out celibate chastity since moving to the
Albuquerque arca, the Review Board cannet condone the rick you take
by allowing Fr. Coyle to reside in your home and recommends in the
strongest of terms that the best form of assistance you can provide Fr.
Coyle would be to help him find an institution with Assisted Living
facilities that would accept him and provide the oversight and living
services that he is going to need as he continues to age.
What the Diocese is prepared to do for Fr. Coyleis to raise his monthly
assistance allowance from $1000 to $1575, It is hoped that, in addition
to Social Security and Medicaid, this increased allowance would be
sufficient for him to afford the cost of living in an institution which
provides Assisted Living housing.
1am sending essentially this same letter and message to Fr. Coyle.
After you have discussed this with him, | would be grateful if you would
inform me of what you decide to do regarding his housing.
Sincerely yours in Christ our Lord,
