Early years

He earned his S.T.L. from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and a master's in education from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

He was ordained a priest of the Consolata Missionaries on 21 June 1953. He worked as a teacher in Kenya from 1956 to 1958. He was then incardinated into the Diocese of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, in 1958, and served in parishes and other institutions for twenty years. From 1961 to 1964 he was a chaplain and a professor of theology at Seton Hill University. From 1964 to 1967 he was a headmaster at St. Joseph Hall Preparatory School in Greensburg, PA.

Diplomatic and Roman years

In the 1980s De Andrea served as a representative of the Vatican at the United Nations. In 1994 he was Under Secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerants. On 2 December 1999 he became chargé d'affaires of the Holy See diplomatic presence in Kuwait, Yemen, and the Arabian Peninsula.

On 28 June 2001, Pope John Paul II appointed him titular archbishop of Anzio and apostolic nuncio to Kuwait, Bahrain, and Yemen, as well as Apostolic Delegate to the Arabian Peninsula. On 29 November 2003 he was given additional responsibility as Apostolic Nuncio to Qatar. His diplomatic career ended when he was replaced in these positions by Paul-Mounged El-Hachem on 27 August 2005.

On 8 January 2007, Pope Benedict XVI named him a member of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. He also served as vice president of the Labour Office of the Apostolic See until 13 October 2007.
