He graduated from Loras College, Dubuque, and completed his theological studies at St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore. He was ordained on April 17, 1943, at St. Raphael's Cathedral, Dubuque, by Archbishop Francis J. L. Beckman. He served as associate pastor at Sacred Heart Parish, Waterloo, from 1943 to 1952, and at St. Martin's, Cascade, in 1952. He was appointed pastor of St. Joseph's and St. Ann's, Harpers Ferry, from 1952 to 1958. He then completed his graduate studies at Creighton University.

He was named a Prelate of Honor (Monsignor) in 1987 by Pope John Paul II.
