A spokesman for the priest's diocese said: "With great regret and deep sorrow we received the news about the accident in which the victim was a woman hit by a car being driven by a priest after drinking alcohol.
"This situation deserves condemnation and never should have happened. Priests have to follow the same laws as everyone else. He should not drive a car after drinking."
The 66-year-old priest who was charged with drunk driving had his license confiscated and is facing 12 years in prison.
Police spokesman Urszula Szymczak said: "He wasn't detained as we didn't think it necessary. He was fully compliant and handed over all his documents for officers to inspect."
A hospital spokesperson said: "The woman has been lucky. She is being kept in hospital for observation but will make a full recovery."
