He made his perpetual vows in 1974, and was ordained to the priesthood on April 15, 1976.[1] After working in parish in Katowice Panewniki, he became a missionary in Zaire in 1979. In the years 1986-1989 he studied at the Institute of Science and Theology of Religions in Paris, France. He returned to Central African Republic in Africa in 1986.
