Born in Niagara Falls, New York, Benincasa was ordained a priest on March 27, 1937 for the Diocese of Buffalo. On May 8, 1964 Pope Paul VI appointed him as the Titular Bishop of Buruni and Auxiliary Bishop of Buffalo. He was consecrated by Bishop James A. McNulty on June 29, 1964. The principal co-consecrators were Archbishop Celestine Damiano of Camden and Bishop James Navagh of Paterson. He attended the third and fourth sessions of the Second Vatican Council (1964-1965). Benincasa served as auxiliary bishop until his death on August 13, 1986 at the age of 73.[1][2]
