Fabio Dal Cin was born in Sarmede[1] in Italy's Veneto region on 23 January 1965. He attended the diocesan seminaries and was ordained a priest for the diocese of Vittorio Veneto on 7 December 1990.[2]
In 1990, he was appointed parish vicar of Motta di Livenza, site of a pilgrimage shrine, the Basilica of the Madonna dei Miracoli[1]. In 1988, he became animator of the youth community of the minor seminary and deputy director of the diocesan vocation center. He earned a licentiate in sacred theology from the Santa Giustina Institute of Pastoral Liturgy in Padua, with a specialty in liturgical-pastoral affairs.[2]
In 2000, he was named episcopal delegate for vocational pastoral ministry and director of the diocesan vocation center. In 2001, he became professor of liturgy at the Studio Teologico Interdiocesano Treviso–Vittorio Veneto. In 2003, he became master of ceremonies at the major seminary. In 2004, he was appointed a member of the commission for permanent deacons.[2]
In March 2007, he took up a position in the Congregation for Bishops as personal secretary to its prefect, Cardinal Marc Ouellet.[2][3] While working there, he obtained a doctorate in theology from the Pontifical Athenaeum of Saint Anselm in 2011.
