Landmark Church names Fr. John E. Denaro as Rector
Institution Liturgy Set for October 5
The Church of St. Ann & the Holy Trinity has named its current Priest-in-Charge, the Rev. John E. Denaro, as rector. The announcement was made public in the Sunday, July 14 edition of the parish’s Good News.
Fr. Denaro has served the landmark Episcopal parish as priest-in-charge since March, 2011. An announcement by Church Wardens Syd Farley and Frank Kain in the parish’s Good News reads, “Fr. Denaro has demonstrated his desire to increase our numbers, utilize our unique facilities and make our presence known in the neighborhood and the wider community. Fr. John, as we know him, has made himself a part of our life together. He has shared his gifts of organizing and producing special events as well as his deep understanding of the traditions of our church and its rituals.”
He has also built on the healing work of his predecessor, the Rev. Angela V. Askew, who served as priest-in-charge at St. Ann & the Holy Trinity Church from 2002 until her retirement three years ago.
