He was ordained in 1857, and appointed assistant pastor of St. Mary's, Davenport. He became pastor in 1862, and shortly afterward erected a church and school. He was appointed vicar-general of the diocese in 1882. On the death of Bishop McMullen he was selected as administrator; and in 1884 was proposed to the holy see as his successor in the bishopric of Davenport.
