Hoboken church to hold memorial mass for beloved priest

HOBOKEN — St. Francis Church at 308 Jefferson St. will host an Anniversary Mass for Father Michael Guglielmelli on Monday, June 4 at 7 p.m..
Guglielmelli passed away last June along with his two sisters Dolores and Antonette after they were in a car accident on Route 537.
They were riding in a Dodge Caravan that was rear-ended at a red light by a 19-year-old driver in a pickup truck, according to the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office at the time.
Following the mass, the parish will host the dedication of a Memorial Garden and official renaming of the food pantry in honor of Fr. Michael Guglielmelli in the back courtyard.
“Fr. Michael was a loving and caring individual who was much-loved by our parish even after his retirement in 2014,” said Fr. Christopher Panlilio. “We still mourn his loss and the loss of his sisters and pray daily that he is in peace.”
All are invited to attend.
