Career
He was educated at the Don Bosco College in Hechtel and entered the Salesian novitiate in 1958. He made his perpetual vows in 1965, and was ordained priest in 1967. After holding several appointments in his order in Belgium, and working some time as a parish priest and youth worker, he became a missionary in Central Africa in 1994.
On 16 July 2005, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him bishop of Kaga-Bandoro.
On 9 June 2011, as president of the Episcopal Commission for Justice and Peace, he sent an appeal to the international community "to provide the necessary logistical and material support to the fight against the growing insecurity in the country". Vanubel resigned from his post in 2015 and Pope Francis accepted his resignation on 27 September 2015.
He was succeeded by Tadeusz Kusy OFM.
