Leopoldo Jaucian, Roman Catholic Bishop of Bangued in Abra (Philippines), was born on July 27, 1960 in Santa, Ilocos Sur (Philippines). The first child of Ernesto Ballesteros Jaucian, Sr. and Veronica Bello Corpuz has three brothers and three sisters. Having found themselves transferring from one place to another due to the work of his father, Monsignor Jaucian's family eventually settled in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, where he came to know the Divine Word Society (SVD), which has a Secondary School Institution in this city - the Divine Word Academy of Urdaneta (now Divine Word College).
Monsignor Jaucian took his High School studies in this Academy, after which, in 1976, he went to work as a sacristan at the SVD's Christ the King Seminary, in Quezon City. It was while having this work that he discovered his vocation to the priesthood, and expressed his intention to join the Divine Word Society.
As a full-fledged SVD seminarian and postulant he studied philosophy at the Christ the King Seminary from 1977 to 1979. Later, he underwent the Order's novitiate program in Tagaytay (1979 to 1981).
In 1982, after his novitiate, he was chosen to study Chinese language and culture. Thus, he was sent to Taiwan for the Oversea's Training Program, from 1982 to 1984. it was in Taipei where he finished his theological formation in 1987, at the Fu Jen Catholic University.
Monsignor Jaucian was ordained to the priesthood, on 12 March 1988, at the Divine Word College Chapel in Urdaneta City, by Bishop Miguel Cinches, who is also a member of the Divine Word Society.
After Ordination, the new priest went back to Taiwan, where he worked as Assistant Pastor at the St. Joseph the Worker Parish in Chiayi for one year. He also served as a Campus Minister at the Fu Jen Catholic University for three years (1989-1992).
