He was ordained to the priesthood on June 2, 1928. His first assignment was as a curate at St. Mary's Church in the Rosebank neighborhood of Staten Island, where he remained for six years. In 1934, he was transferred to St. Paul's Church in New York City and appointed to the archdiocesan curia. Within a year he became a curate at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and was named assistant chancellor and secretary of the Archdiocesan Commission for Real Estate and Insurance in 1939.
