Education
He then studied theology for a year at Mainz (1631), after which, the houses of his province of the Upper Rhine being suppressed during the intervention by Sweden in the Thirty Years" War, he continued his theological studies for three years at Douai, where he was ordained priest on 26 March 1633.
Career
After making his novitiate, he devoted several months to a revision of his philosophical studies, and subsequently, from 1626, spent five years teaching in the college of Würzburg, conducting his pupils through the five classes which comprised the complete course in humanities. These studies having come to an end in 1634, he discharged for several years the duties of chaplain to the land and naval troops in Belgium and Germany. We find him mentioned under this title (Castrensis) in the catalogue of the Flandro-Belgian province for 1641 as being attached to the professed house at Antwerp, where he made his profession of the four vows on 26 December of the same year.
He lived here with the first two Bollandists, Jean Bolland and Godefroid Henschen.
He became an active collaborator. He was then at Baden-Baden, where he resided for some time in order to direct the studies of the young princes of the House of Baden.
He was undoubtedly there in 1641, and 1649. At the end of this latter year he resided in a missionary capacity at Ettlingen near Karlsruhe.
Here we lose all sight of him until 1681, when he was attached to the College of Aschaffenburg near Frankfort, where he died 25 November 1684.
