Life and ministry

Born in Huesca, Spain, on 18 February 1935, Emilio Allué made his profession as a Salesian in 1962 and attended Don Bosco College in Newton, New Jersey.[1] He then furthered his studies at the Salesian Pontifical University in Rome, where he was ordained to the priesthood on 22 December 1966.[2]

He earned a Licentiate of Sacred Theology from the Salesian University in 1967, and was director of the Salesian Seminary in Goshen, New York, from 1972 to 1975. He received a Ph.D. in the history of Christianity from Fordham University in 1981, and later served as parish vicar for Hispanic ministry at Mary Help of Christians Church in New York.[1]

On 24 July 1996, Allué was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Boston and Titular Bishop of Croae by Pope John Paul II.[2] He received his episcopal consecration on the following 17 September from Cardinal Bernard Francis Law, with Archbishop Theodore McCarrick and Bishop Robert Banks serving as co-consecrators.[2]

As an auxiliary, Allué served as regional bishop of the Merrimack Pastoral Region and episcopal vicar for the Hispanic apostolate.[3]

In 2002, Allué was named in a sexual abuse lawsuit claiming that he ignored credible allegations of abuse by priests during his tenure in 1972 as director of a junior seminary in Goshen, New York. One allegation involved his efforts to expel a student rather than confront the alleged abuser.[4]

Allué died on 26 April 2020 in Boston, after contracting COVID-19 during the COVID-19 pandemic in Boston.[5]
