Born in County Monaghan in 1875, he was educated at the Seraphic College at Rochestown in County Cork, before formally joining the Capuchins in 1892. He subsequently taught theology at the University of Louvain, Belgium, before undertaking missionary work in India. In 1937, he was appointed Archbishop of Delhi-Simla, the last non-Indian cleric to hold this position. He died in Dublin in 1950 and was buried in Glasnevin Cemetery.
