Father Daniel Reehil was born on Mineola, NY on August 4, 1965, to parents Dan and Gladys; he is the oldest of four children. His father was a NYC Fire Chief and his mother was a court reporter after the children were in school. After graduating college from the University of Dayton, he worked in Global Trade and Finance in Manhattan for American Express and Citicorp for ten years, and then three years as the Sales Director of a Corporate Communications PR Firm.
Upon his ordination on July 26, 2014, Fr. Reehil was assigned to St. Edward Parish as the Parochial Vicar; two year later he was elevated to Pastor of St. Catherine of Siena Parish in Columbia, TN.
In 1998 Fr. Reehil made a pilgrimage to the village of Medjugorje in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was a life altering trip upon which he experienced a miraculous conversion after being away from the church for twenty years. This is where the seeds of his vocation to the priesthood were planted when the priest who heard his twenty-year confession told him that he believed he had a vocation to the priesthood. Father began reflecting on the emptiness of his life and praying for God to lead him.
