Biographical data

He entered the priesthood late in life; he was a candidate in Nyergesújfalu and later a novice in Péliföldszentkereszt. In 1937, he was in Canada, so it is possible that he went on a mission immediately and returned home later. The Salesians’ database lists only his places of service after World War II; according to these records, he lived in Nemesbőd and died in Szombathely as a priest of the Diocese of Szombathely.
