Biography

Early life and education

Rehring was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Bernard L. and Mary A. (née Sander) Rehring.[1] He attended St. Gregory's Preparatory Seminary and Mount St. Mary's Seminary, both in Cincinnati.

Career

He was ordained to the priesthood on March 28, 1914.[2] He served as a curate at St. Mary's Church in Hillsboro before being assigned to SS. Peter and Paul Church in Reading.[1] In 1921, he received his first pastorate at Guardian Angels Church in Cincinnati.

He became professor of theology at Mount St. Mary's Seminary in 1923.[1] From 1926 to 1928, he continued his studies at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum in Rome, where he earned a Doctor of Sacred Theology degree.[3] He served as rector of Mount St. Mary's Seminary from 1931 to 1940. He was named a domestic prelate in 1932.[1]

On August 6, 1937, Rehring was appointed auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati and titular bishop of Lunda by Pope Pius XI.[2] He received his episcopal consecration on the following October 7 from Archbishop John T. McNicholas, with Bishops Joseph H. Albers and Urban John Vehr serving as co-consecrators.[2] As an auxiliary bishop, he served as pastor of St. Mary's Church in the Hyde Park section of Cincinnati from 1940 to 1950.[1]

Rehring was named the fourth Bishop of Toledo on July 16, 1950.[2] He attended all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council between 1962 and 1965. After reaching the mandatory retirement age of 75, he resigned as bishop of Toledo on February 25, 1967; on the same date, he was appointed titular bishop of Tunnuna, a post which he resigned on December 31, 1970.[2]
