Fr. Valentine Rebello was born and raised in Vassai, Maharastra, India. Right after finishing high school, on July 14, 1978 he joined Good Shepherd Seminary, Baroda, Gujarat.  After completing his studies he was ordained as a priest on April 08, 1989 at St. Pius X Seminary, Mumbai by Cardinal Simon Pimenta. He was stationed in Dediapada & then moved to Valsad (Baroda Diocese). In June 2000 he moved to USA and worked at different parishes. On March 25, 2010 Bishop William Murphy of diocese of Rockville Center incardinated (indicted) Fr. Valentine in to his diocese.

 

Now he is a Pastor of St. Pius X Church in Plainview, New York. And look at the coincident; he was ordained as a priest in St. Pius X seminary in Mumbai and now he is a PASTOR of St. Pius X Roman Catholic Church.

 

Our big congratulations to Fr. Valentine and wish him the best and pray to God that he grants him wisdom, strength, vision and support from his parishioners. He has been a part of the Gujarati Catholic families in New York and New Jersey and especially our family. He has tried to be present at all our important occasion. We thank you for that.

 

 

On this occasion he said “Please pray for me. As I venture in this new journey, I can always count on your support and prayers. Thank you for being the part of my priestly journey, a long journey of Faith. May God bless you all.”
