He did his last votes in Marquain (Belgium) on 15th August 1932. In 1941, he joined the board of directors of the new Seminary of St Domingo Archdiocese, entrusted to the Jesuits that same year and set up in Santo Cerro (La Vega), in the centre of the country, where he was discipline prefect (1941-1943) and taught Latin and Spanish. Once he finished that commitment, he was sent to teach Latin and Greek to the Colegio Máximo de Comillas (Santander). In 1945, he moved as vice rector to the Seminary of La Guardia (Pontevedra), where he stayed until 1947. It was then that he left again to the Caribbean to work for a year as a simple worker at the residence annexe to the Holy Heart Temple in Havana (Cuba). One year later, he went on with his work in A Coruña (1947-1983). His activity diminished in the late 70’s until he died in his native city on 21st January 1983.

 Work & Activities

During his stay in Cuba, he edited the magazine of the Apostolic School for three years (1938-1941). In 1940, he published an interesting historic and liturgical Catechism of the Mass (Havana, 1940), which was directed to serve as a textbook in seminaries and Religion classes. Over thirty years later, already in Spain, he published the essay ‘Concepción Arenal, una auténtica reformadora social’ (A Coruña, 1975).
