As a priest of Opus Dei, his pastoral assignment is preaching the retreat, giving spiritual direction for the members of Opus Dei.

Until 2014, Lee served as supervisor of Tak Sun School in Kowloon. He was also the Opus Dei Regional Vicar of East Asia and the Defender of the Diocesan Magisterial Court.
