CHARLOTTE — Vincentian Father John P. Timlin has been appointed pastor of St. Mary Church in Greensboro, effective Aug. 16.
He succeeds Vincentian Father William Allegretto, who was reassigned by his order, the Eastern Province of the Congregation of the Mission, as of Aug. 2.
This is a homecoming for Father Timlin, who steps in again as pastor after serving at the parish from 2012 to 2016.
Established in 1928, St. Mary Church is one of the most ethnically diverse parishes in the diocese and has been staffed by the Vincentians since 1939. Besides the Greensboro parish, the Vincentians staff Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Charlotte.
