An overflow crowd flocked to St. Francis Church in Hoboken yesterday morning- June 15, 2017- for the funeral Mass for a retired priest and his two sisters who all died from injuries they sustained in a car crash earlier this month.

Three hearses waited outside the church, on Father Michael Guglielmelli Way, for the caskets of 81-year-old the Rev. Michael Guglielmelli, 87-year-old Dolores Guglielmelli and 85-year-old Antoinette Gallina.

Guglielmelli and Dolores Guglielmelli died the night of the June 4 crash. Gallina died five days after the van they were riding in was rear-ended in Freehold by a pickup truck driven by Austin Janowski, 19, of Freehold, who was treated for an arm injury, officials said.

The former pastor and his sisters, who grew up in Hoboken, had been living together in Cliffside Park.
