He also attended the University of Saigon, where he obtained a degree in English literature in 1971.
He was ordained a priest on 21 December 1968, and he served in various capacities within the Diocese of Quy Nhơn. After his priestly ordination, he went to Rome to study at the Pontifical Urban University, where he earned a doctorate in canon law in 1974.
