After having studied Humanities, Theology and Law, he was ordained as a priest in 1921 and appointed to different parish churches in A Coruña. During the 30's, he began to plan the educational project of 'Hogar de Santa Margarita', which had not a central office until 1944. It was a school of Primary Education at day and a centre for adults at night. There were also activities of several religious organisations such as 'Acción Católica' and 'Congregación Mariana'.
