Biography

Raphael Diệp was born in Long Thôi in 1926. He was ordained a priest on 7 December 1954.

He was appointed titular bishop of Tubusuptu and coadjutor bishop of Vĩnh Long by Pope Paul VI. The appointment of a coadjutor bishop was due to the then difficult and unstable political situation in Vietnam. He received his episcopal consecration from bishop Jacques Nguyễn Văn Mầu, on the same day of his appointment 15 August 1975. Despite initial fears, he never took over the government of the diocese. He continued serving the community as coadjutor bishop until 27 May 2000, when he retired due to reaching the age limit. He died on 20 December 2007, aged 81.
