He came from a Székely family. According to his barely legible tombstone, he was ordained a priest in 1906. According to the records of the Diocese of Szombathely, he served in the diocese starting in 1919. In 1921, during King Charles IV’s attempt to return to the throne, he celebrated Holy Mass for the king. He arrived in the United States in 1925. He is credited with the construction of St. Margaret’s Church in Yonkers, NY. According to his obituary: “The people of Yonkers and the surrounding area, regardless of nationality, called him the ‘Holy Priest’; his passing aroused widespread sympathy, but the greatest loss is felt by the Hungarian community in America, for whom he earned respect and recognition, and by those here and in the homeland whom this low-income priest generously supported with money, clothing packages, and advice. He led an ascetic lifestyle, was unassuming, and every day, winter and summer alike, he made his rounds through the hospitals from early morning onward, offering a word of comfort to every patient.” At his funeral, Dr. Tibor Eckhardt appeared at the request of the family of the late King Charles IV of Hungary.
