It is very difficult to put into words what Fr. Mike meant to not only his parish of St. Francis but what he meant to those who knew him and came into contact with him. An old fashioned parish priest- Fr. Mike was from the neighborhood and was a vital and vibrant member of the community for his entire life. His homilies were living parables-- he would combine personal stories with Italian phrases, insights, and spiritual meaning. He was loved and he will be missed.
Statement from St. Francis Church:
“It is with deep regret that the Church of St Francis of Assisi, Hoboken, announces the passing of our beloved former Pastor, Fr Michael Guglielmelli. Fr Michael served our parish and the city of Hoboken with love and compassion. He taught us the meaning of caring for those who are less fortunate and how to care for one another in the true spirit of St Francis. At this time, we ask for your prayers for Fr Michael and his family. For those who wish, the Church will be open until 9 p.m. this evening for anyone desiring to stop and offer a prayer.”
