In 1988 he became provincial superior of his order and in 1996 117th Minister General, a post he held until 2002.
On 10 July 2006, he was named titular Archbishop of Cissa (transferred to Torcello in November 2007) and Secretary of the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. He was consecrated bishop on 26 August 2006.
