He was ordained a priest in a hurried ceremony in a refugee camp[3] on 5 November 1972 for the Apostolic Vicariate of Vientiane, Laos. He spent the years 1984 to 1987 in prison.[3]

He is a member of Institut Voluntas Dei, founded in 1958 at Trois-Rivières, Quebec. He took his first name Louis-Marie from its founder, Fr. Louis-Marie Parent [fr].[7]

He explained that they are "catechists, carrying medicines, aid, prayers for the people of the mountain. They integrate with the villagers, live as the villagers do in everything."[1] His other principal charges as a bishop in Laos have been providing formation for Laotian priests, since the government does not allow foreign missionaries to work there,[5] and planning for his own successor.[6]

He was president of the Episcopal Conference of Laos and Cambodia from 2009 to 2014.[5]

On 11 December 2016, his cousin was declared a blessed in the Catholic Church, Blessed Luc Sy (1938–1970), one of the Martyrs of Laos.[10]

On 2 February 2017, Pope Francis gave him the additional responsibilities of apostolic administrator of the Apostolic Vicariate of Vientiane.[11]

On 16 December 2017, Pope Francis named him Vicar Apostolic of Vientiane.[16] Francis made him a member of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development on 23 December 2017[17] and of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue on 8 July 2020.[18]
