Born February 10, 1905, he was professed on September 12, 1926 and ordained on May 22, 1932. He was an associate pastor at St. Mary’s, Dunkirk, New York and St. Ann’s Parish, Scranton, Pennsylvania. He lived at West Springfield, Massachusetts and was a member of the community of St. Michael’s Monastery, Union City, New Jersey when it closed in 1980.
