He joined the Pauline Order in 1942. He completed his college studies in Pécs. He was ordained a priest in 1947. Scout leader... In order to be able to leave for the West—at the suggestion of a well-wisher—he signed up for the Peace Priests’ trip to Moscow. As a result, he later received a passport valid for Yugoslavia. From there, he was helped across the Italian border on foot. In the U.S., he had hoped to found a monastery based on Pauline traditions, but the Superior General forbade this; he then requested his dismissal from the Pauline Order and his transfer to the Diocese of Pittsburgh, PA.
After the fall of communism, his heart drew him back home, and he first served at the Paulines’ Szikla Church in Buda, then, upon returning to Pécs, at the Pécskertváros parish, and later at the Pauline Church.
However, he was unable to legally return to the Pauline Order, as once a member has left, he cannot be readmitted. Therefore, he joined the community as a confrere (honorary member).
Due to his deteriorating health, he was forced to leave Pécs and was given a place and care in Páty, at the home of the Order of Malta, and later in Buda, at the Edit Farkas Social Home, where he received shelter and care; yet despite his failing health, he continued to perform his pastoral duties at both locations.
