About this person
As a new bishop, his presence was needed in the new city of Chandigarh when he undertook the decision to shift the residence from the headquarters of Shimla to Chandigarh, even though it lacked a physical church. Rego fulfilled the holy orders, representing the catholic church in its doctrines as he shepherded the new flocks. He sanctified the congregation, while he also governed and administered in church planting and missionary fields through his support and assistance to missionary groups under his pastoral guidance until the age of 78, when he retired in 1999.
