Parish had a school with 294-261 students.

In 1988 Tourigney admitted to his "relationship" with a Holliston boy in the 1970s. The boy was now an adult, and went to Bishop Banks to discuss his having been sexually abused by Tourigney as a child. He told also of three other children Tourigney had sexually abused. Tourigney was sent to Southdown, a treatment facility in Toronto, for an assessment. (Pattern and Practice Brief July 21, 2003)

After an intervention for alcohol abuse by the archdiocese's Priests Recovery Program, Tourigney spent mid-May to late December 1992 at St. Michael's Community in St. Louis, MO for inpatient treatment. In 1993 he lived at Our Lady's Hall in Milton, MA, which was a facility for priests who were
"alcoholics and incurable pedophiles."

Two men went to Cardinal Law in 1992 to disclose that Tigourney sexually abused them when they were boys in Weymouth in the 1960s. They did not want to sue, but wanted to help the archdiocese to reach out to victims and encourage victims to report clergy sexual abuse to prosecutors. After a year of working with Cardinal Law on the issue, one of the men says their suggestions were ignored, and that they were used. Law decided to handle abuse complaints internally, and not to have them reported to law enforcement. The men later sued the archdiocese. (Boston Globe
