The court heard he could not be present due to a sensitive personal matter.
Canon Patrick McEntee, with an address at Esker Road, Dromore, Co Tyrone, is accused of indecently assaulting two males in the 1980s.
He was a former teacher in St Michael's College Enniskillen.
The case is due to be mentioned again on Thursday morning.
Canon McEntee remains on continuing bail.
