He was selected by Hippolyte Delehaye to become a Bollandist, studied at the University of Oxford, returned to Belgium for his military service, then studied in Dublin. Ordained a priest in 1932, he returned to St Michael College, where he spent the remainder of his career, preparing a number of biographies of Celtic saints.
