Auxiliary Bishop Robert Coyle

The diocesan website news on the appointment of Bishop Robert Coyle as an auxiliary bishop of Rockville Centre provides this biography. The following paragraph is excerpted from the site of the Archdiocese for Military Services, USA.

Bishop Coyle was born September 23, 1964, in Brooklyn, N.Y. His parents, Robert and Kathryn Coyle, currently live in Cold Spring Hills, N.Y. The product of a life-long Catholic education, Bishop Coyle graduated from St. Edward Confessor Elementary School, Syosset, N.Y., in 1978; St. Mary’s Boys High School, Manhasset, N.Y., in 1982; Fordham University, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics, in 1986; and Immaculate Conception Seminary, Huntington, N.Y., with a Master of Divinity in 1991 and a Master of Arts degree in Theology in 1998. He was ordained a priest on May 25, 1991 for the Diocese of Rockville Centre, N.Y. by Bishop John R. McGann at St. Agnes Cathedral.

His is Titular Bishop of Zabi, perhaps in modern Algeria.

The diocese of Rockville Centre apparently now has five Auxiliary Bishops, three active, two retired.
