St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Manhasset installs new pastor

St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church officially has a new pastor.

On Sunday, the Rev. Robert A. Romeo was installed as the parish’s 12th pastor during its 10:30 a.m. mass.

Romeo was introduced by the Very Rev. William T. Slater, dean of the North Hempstead Deanery, as well as members of the parish who welcomed him into the Manhasset community.

Romeo succeeds the Rev. John McCann, who retired from the parish in May after 17 years with St. Mary’s.
