He also studied Philosophy at the Saint Francis de Sales Seminary, Lipa City. Ordained as deacon on 24 September 1955 and as a priest on 17 March 1956 on Lucena,Quezon Province by Bishop and Servant of God Alfredo Maria Aranda Obviar, Vidal became the spiritual director of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Seminary in Sariaya, Quezon.
Vidal was appointed Coadjutor Bishop of Malolos in 1971, and was consecrated bishop by Archbishop Carmine Rocco, Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines. Less than two years later, he was appointed Archbishop of Lipa by Pope Paul VI. Pope John Paul II appointed Vidal Coadjutor Archbishop of Cebu in 1981; he became Archbishop on 24 August 1982, succeeding Cardinal Julio Rosales.
Cardinal Vidal was a frequent collaborator with the Bishop Teofilo Camomot and bore witness to the native Cebuano prelate's claimed miraculous deed. Vidal also helped found the Catechist Missionaries of St. Theresa, a Catholic religious order.
