Between 2005 and 2022 he was the prelate of the Territorial Prelature of Chota, Peru, an administrative division of the Church that, unlike a diocese, is assigned to the care of a religious order.
[2] In April 2015, the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life named Urcey an apostolic visitor tasked with investigating charges of "improper behavior" on the part of Luis Fernando Figari, founder of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae.
[3][4] Urcey reported that while Figari was Superior General he had "adopted a style of government excessively or improperly authoritarian, directed to impose one's own will," and that "in order to obtain the obedience of his brothers [he] used improper strategies and methods of persuasion, that is to say, underhanded, arrogant and nonetheless violent and disrespectful of the right to the inviolability of one's own interiority and discretion".
On 30 January 2017, as a result of Urcey's investigation, the Congregation decreed that Figari should have no further contact with members of the Sodalit community.
[5] On 9 March 2018, Urcey was elected President of Caritas Peru (Cáritas del Perú) for the three-year term 2018-2021.
