Diogo Correia Valente, S.J. (Latin: Didacus Valente, Spanish: Diego Carreia Valente) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Funay (1618–1633).[1]

Biography

Diogo Correia Valente was born in 1567 in Lisbon, Portugal.[2] He was ordained a priest in the Society of Jesus.[2]

On 8 Jan 1618, he was appointed during the papacy of Pope Paul V as Bishop of Funay.[1][2] On 18 Mar 1618, he was consecrated bishop by Ottavio Accoramboni, Bishop Emeritus of Fossombrone.[2] He was unable to reach his diocese because of persecution. After the bishop of Macau, João Pinto da Piedade, O.P., returned to Europe in 1615,[3] he was named in 1623 as administrator of the diocese.[4] He died on 28 Oct 1633 in Macau.[1][2] He was buried in the Madre de Deus church but later transferred to the Cathedral of the Nativity of Our Lady after the church was destroyed in a fire.[4]
