He then entered Maryknoll Preparatory Seminary in Scranton, Pennsylvania, making his profession in 1913. He was later ordained to the priesthood on February 8, 1920.

Lane served as general procurator of the Maryknoll Fathers for some years before being assigned to Hong Kong in 1923. From 1925 to 1929, he was the first superior of the Maryknoll mission in Manchuria. He served as rector of the Maryknoll Seminary in New York (1929-1932) before returning to China as Prefect Apostolic of Fushun on April 14, 1932. On February 13, 1940, Lane was appointed Vicar Apostolic of Fushun and Titular Bishop of Hypaepa by Pope Pius XII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following June 11 from Bishop James Edward Walsh, M.M., with Bishops Joseph Edward McCarthy and Richard Cushing serving as co-consecrators. After Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, he was interned by the Japanese authorities in Fushun.
