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.

We had a great time at our parish fish fry last year and we will be holding it again this year on Friday, March 31. We hope to dine in the rectory backyard (weather permitting).

We will start with evening prayers (Vespers) in the rectory chapel at 5 PM followed by a social gathering starting around 5:30 PM.

Plans have been made to have quite a delicious fish dinner. The best part will be sharing it with each another.

Join us. Please let us know through by signing up below so we can order the right amount of food. You can also contribute online to help defray the costs and support our social gatherings.

We invite you to join in saying a Novena to St. Joseph. St. Joseph is patron of the Universal Church, unborn children, fathers, workers, travelers, immigrants, expectant parents, families, and a happy death. 

The novena will begin this Sunday, March 12 and end on Monday, March 20, when St. Joseph’s feast day is celebrated this year. We will pray it together at the start of our 5 PM parish Zoom events (Sunday faith sharing, rosaries on Monday and Wednesday, and Friday Vespers). Don’t worry if you can’t join in every night. The materials are available online here if you want to pray one or more days on your own.

Please be on the lookout for Fr. Bill’s Christmas letter in the mail. An electronic copy is available here. It includes our Christmas Mass schedule, which is also listed below:

• We will have a Vigil Mass on Saturday,  December 24 at 5 PM.
• On Christmas day, Sunday, December 25, we will have Masses at 9 AM and 11:15 AM.
• There will be no 7 PM Mass on Christmas day.
