He arrived in Honolulu on March 19, 1864, and was ordained on May 21 in Our Lady of Peace Cathedral, near the corner of Beretania and Bishop Streets. Because the community was always short of supplies, he badgered the Hawaiian government, the Board of Health, and his church superiors for more resources. In keeping with his wishes, he was buried in the cemetery next to his church.
He spent the next eight years on Hawai‘i Island ministering to the people in the Puna and Kohala-Hamakua districts.
