Father John Bertolucci was a faithful man of God and a great Catholic Christian evangelist. His ministry of evangelism brought me closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and I am grateful that I was able to take two theology classes from him. I pray that he will rest forever in God´s eternal peace in heaven. Amen

Father John Bertolucci was a great Catholic evangelist. He did much good in leading many people to a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I pray that he will be remembered for all the good he did and forgiven for his past sins. May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed Rest In Peace. Amen.

John was a good friend to my father, Jerod, for many years when he was in Albany. I wasn't aware of his passing and am saddened to hear about it. God bless you, Fr. Bertolucci. Heather Rosman

For Frankie and family- I will always treasure all the fun we had together when growing up with our 'big brothers' & visiting your beautiful parents, your dad the 'prince of monoco'- I miss everyone and know you do as well. .

Thanks again for everything. Rest In Peace.

I met John in 1994 at Scranton University. I hope he is resting in peace with the Lord.

I would like to honor Fr. John's memory once again. He was a gentle light to many, many people. There was something about the Charismatic Renewal in the Church that I found somewhat intimidating. The immediacy of God's presence and a sense that one had to come into God's presence open and docile before His Lordship. Fr. John's kindness and warmth gave the 'holy ground' of charismatic prayer meetings and Masses more accessible and safer territory for my timid, fallen soul. I will be...

Still grateful for your ministry and friendship. Sending you a smile. Please pray for us in these difficult times.
