The Rev. Walter Cuenin, the Newton clergyman who organized priests who questioned church policies and called for the resignation of Bernard Cardinal Law, is expected to announce today that he is relocating.
Cuenin did not return calls last night and a spokesman for the Archdiocese of Boston would not comment on his status at Our Lady Help of Christians. But a parish source yesterday said he is expected to announce that he is stepping down after a decade as pastor.
``He has been not only one of the most courageous pastors, but one of the few that has spoken out when it mattered most,'' said Peter Borre, a member of the Council of Parishes. ``He will be missed. One has to wonder whether this resignation is completely voluntary.''
