He was also professor of New Testament and Apologetics at Nashotah House Theological Seminary from 1930 to 1933. He served as an assisting priest at Church of St. Mary the Virgin (Manhattan) and St. Paul's Church, Brooklyn, and as rector of St. Andrew's Church, Buffalo from 1936 to 1941. He was also curate at St. Clement's, New York from 1941 to 1944 and from 1946 to 1953.
