He was educated in Rzeszów, and then attended underground courses in Kolbuszowa. After the war he entered the theological seminary in Tarnów. In 1950 he was ordained a priest. He was both a priest and social activist. He supported young people's education by funding scholarships for young people whose families did not give them a chance for social advancement. He was known mainly as the builder of the church in Biadolin near Tarnów in the years 1964-1966, which was provided with furnishings over the time when he was the parson.
