Fr. Gibino to Join as Pastor in July

Bishop Brennan has appointed Fr. Joseph Gibino as the next Pastor of St Charles Borromeo Parish. He is presently Pastor of Holy Trinity Church in Whitestone and Vicar for Evangelization and Catechesis and Academic Dean for the Permanent Diaconate Program for the Diocese of Brooklyn.

Fr. Gibino is grateful to be coming to St. Charles and we look forward to welcoming him to his new home. He will begin in early July.

Fr. Smith turned 71 in December and will retire from full-time service at the end of June. We have been blessed by Fr. Bill’s leadership and counsel over the past five years. He has filled this church with much joy. All our best for a fulfilling next chapter.
