TAUNTON On May 14, 1933, Bishop James E. Cassidy, apostolic administrator of the Fall River diocese, presided over a dedication mass at St. Mary s Church in Taunton for the new Monsignor James Coyle High School for Boys.
Cassidy aptly chose St. Mary s for the mass since the late monsignor had been its pastor since 1896 and he was instrumental in sowing the seeds that led to the school s planning, construction and opening.
Last April, the Fall River diocese announced the permanent closure of Coyle & Cassidy High School and Middle School, ending nearly a century of educating boys and girls in the Catholic tradition.
