Bahrain: John Rebello - Papal Honour Recipient

Pictures of John Rebello (Bahrain) Receiving the Papal Honour 'Pro Ecclesia Et Pontifice' in the Jubilee Year 2000

It was a privileged moment for John Rebello, a Konkani Catholic Lay Eucharistic Minister in Bahrain, when he was chosen to receive from the late Pope John Paul II, the prestigious Papal Honour - 'Pro Ecclesia Et Pontifice' in the Jubilee Year 2000.

Seen in the photo is Archbishop Giuseppe De Andrea, the former Nuncio to Bahrain, handing the Papal Honour to John on Friday, 12th May, 2000 at the Sacred Heart Church in Manama, Bahrain.

John, who is also a Konkani Catholics member, was chosen for this award through the recommendation of his former Parish Priest, Rev. Fr. Felicio Diniz.

We join John Rebello in celebrating this great gift of grace in his life.
