Yesterday, we received word that Fr. John Pietramale, pastor of Christ the King Parish, was involved in a car accident on Saturday evening. He is currently in the ICU at Bergan Mercy Hospital, where he is in stable but serious condition. Fr. John has received the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.

At this time, visitors are limited to allow Fr. John the rest and care he needs as he begins his recovery.

We ask that you please keep Fr. John in your thoughts and prayers as he begins his journey toward healing and recovery. Please also pray for his family and all those caring for him during this difficult time.
