In 1960 he became Junior Dean at St Patrick's College, Maynooth, and while ambitious to serve longer at the National Seminary was recalled in 1966 to become President of Summerhill College. He served 13 years as president transforming much within the college and earning a reputation as a committed, pioneering educator.[3][4]

In 1979, he was appointed to be Director of the Marriage Tribunal in Galway which adjudicated on annulments[4] In 1982, he became parish priest of Roscommon town and Vicar General.
