In 1967 he organized the Parish of St. Ignatius of Antioch, now St. Mark's Parish. For 23 years he celebrated Mass for the Parish on Sunday in the Church owned by St Anselm’s Anglican Parish on the University Endowment Lands. His spiritual direction and homilies drew a large following from Greater Vancouver. A Scripture scholar, he taught for many years at the Vancouver School of Theology.
