Pope Leo XIV has appointed Augustinian Father Edward Daniang Daleng, O.S.A., as the new vice regent of the Prefecture of the Pontifical Household. He has previously served as General Counsellor and Procurator General of the Order of Saint Augustine.
Born on April 4, 1977, in Yitla’ar, Kwalla, Plateau State (Nigeria), he made his first profession in the Order of Saint Augustine on November 9, 2001, and his solemn vows on November 13, 2004. He was ordained a priest on September 10, 2005, and obtained a Doctorate in Moral Theology from the Alphonsian Academy in 2012.
In an interview with Vatican media shortly after the election of Pope Leo XIV, Father Daleng spoke of the special bond that the new pope has with Africa. “He has Africa in his heart,” Daleng said. “He has visited all our African missions several times and has come to my country, Nigeria, on at least ten occasions, including in 2016, when we celebrated for the first time the intermediate General Chapter.”
