Most of his family were of Armenian origin and had lived centuries in Poland. During his studies he suffered a crisis of belief. A year later he enrolled in a seminary in Lviv.
In 1887 he became a priest and, after the death of Archbishop Izaak Mikołaj Isakowicz of Lviv, in 1901 was named to succeed him.
He is widely respected among Poles for his religious and social work. Teodorowicz died in Lviv, where he was buried at the Cemetery of the Defenders of LwóWest
When the city was occupied by Soviet forces during World World War II his remains were transferred to a family cemetery to save them from profanation, where they remain today. The first Soviet occupation of 1939-1941 prevented the nomination of a successor and during the subsequent occupations and destructive policies of Nazi Germany and Stalin"s Soviet Union the city"s 700-year-old Armenian community was completely destroyed.
