His clerical career began in November 1894 when he was ordained to the priesthood following theological studies in the Grand Seminary at Montreal. He was then appointed assistant parish priest at St. Leon where he served until August 1895. Then he was put in charge of 15 country missions as pastor of St. Augustine Church at Brandon.
