Dear Friends,

It is with profound sorrow that I share the heartbreaking news that our beloved Father Terry Kristofak died in a car accident this afternoon in West Hartford. Father Terry had been visiting a family and was on his way home at the time of the accident.

We are filled with grief at the loss of such a kind, loving, and faithful friend. His presence touched the lives of so many, and his passing is a tremendous loss to our community.

Please keep Father Terry's family, friends, and the Passionist Community in your prayers during this difficult time. We will share information regarding funeral and memorial services as arrangements are made.

May Father Terry rest in the loving arms of God, and may the Lord grant comfort and peace to all of us who mourn. Amen.
