Biographical / Historical

On September 8, 1952, a totally sudden death snatched him from our midst. He was born and September 24, 1908; professed on August 16, 1937; and ordained on June 6, 1943. In a short time, he lived a full life. First of all, with great zeal for souls he labored in Most Holy Name parish, Kansas City. Next, he was the syndic of the convent of St. Thomas Aquinas, River Forest. Later he was an assiduous and constant assistant to the provincial over our recently erected novitiate of St. Peter Martyr, Winona, Minnesota, from its beginning until its completion. He always worked with great devotion and charity for the common good. He died as he lived rejoicing in the Lord and in the presence of the community.
