Where art thou, Rev. Peter Miqueli?

The Bronx priest accused of looting more than $1 million from two city parishes and using the cash on a wild S&M romance with a beefy boy toy was missing from services at St. Frances De Chantal church in Throggs Neck on Friday.

Fr. Stephen Asomah led a morning mass and didn’t mention the scandal-plagued priest.

“It is not fair. No comment,” Asomah said when asked about Miqueli after the service.

At least one parishioner said it was “common knowledge” that Miqueli was facing accusations he fleeced his flock.

“He’s a troubled man, not a good man,” Janeen Ruzzi, 45, told the Daily News.
