His religious name was Saint Imre. His parents were Péter Cseh and Adél Szabó. He entered the order on December 28, 1928. He took his perpetual vows on Mount Carmel on December 29, 1935. He left Hungary at the end of 1932 and lived in Palestine (in what is now Israel), Egypt, and Italy for an unknown period of time. He arrived in Brazil around 1958. He was sent to São Roque in the late 1970s. Since there were few monks, a decision was made to close his monastery; he opposed this but agreed to remain there even alone so that the property would not have to be sold. He lived alone for about two years, after which his provincial chapter reopened the novitiate there. According to records, he was extremely well-educated, a lover of books, and spoke several languages. Although he was not a priest, he possessed the three “virtues” of the priesthood: faith, humor, and a hearty appetite. The latter was aided by the fact that he had served as a cook for decades. He died suddenly. He was in good health; one evening he retired to his cell to sleep, but the next morning he did not appear in the chapel, and his fellow monks found him dead. His distant relative (“great-great-uncle”) was Péter Mihály Cseh, who had previously served as a priest in Hungary in the Diocese of Pécs.
