Dominic Đặng Văn Cầu

Dominic Đặng Văn Cầu (Vietnamese: Đa Minh Đặng Văn Cầu) is a Vietnamese prelate. He was appointed Bishop of Thái Bình on 29 of October 2022. Cầu was set to be appointed bishop with Joseph Bùi Công Trác on the same day, but Trác was appointed later on 1 November due to Archbishop Joseph Nguyễn Năng being on a retreat.[1] He was ordained to the priesthood in 1996 and previously served as Rector of the Sacred Heart Major Seminary of Thái Bình since 2017.[2] He was ordained bishop on 31 December 2022 in front of the Diocesan Pastoral Center (adjacent to the cathedral) and consecrated by Archbishop Joseph Nguyễn Năng. His co-consecrators were Joseph Nguyễn Tấn Tước, Bishop of Phú Cường and Joseph Trần Văn Toản, Bishop of Long Xuyên.[3]
