De Andrea worked as a teacher in Kenya from 1956 to 1958. He was then incardinated into the Roman Catholic Diocese of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, in 1958, and served in parishes and other institutions for twenty years.

In the 1980s Archbishop De Andrea served as a representative of the Vatican at the United Nations. In 1994 he was appointed to the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerants.

In 2001, he was appointed titular archbishop of Anzio and then served as apostolic nuncio for Kuwait, Yemen, Bahrain, and the Arabian Peninsula. De Andrea retired from diplomatic office in 2005 upon having reached the age limit.

Archbishop De Andrea served as Assessor of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre from 2008 to 2013. In 2011-2012, following the resignation of the Grand Master Cardinal Foley due to ill health, he temporarily carried out Grand Master's duties before Cardinal Edwin O’Brien was appointed a successor.
