He served as curate at Mount Calvary Church, Baltimore from July, 1881 to December, 1885, and developed a close association with the All Saints Sisters of the Poor that continued through his ministry. He was rector at the former Church of the Holy Innocents in Hoboken, New Jersey (1886-1895). He served as rector of S. Clement's, Philadelphia, continuing its tradition as a center of American Anglo-Catholicism. Passenger lists for arrivals at the Port of New York from England indicate frequent travels to England to alleviate strain brought on by overwork. He died of a heart attack brought on by nervous exhaustion while vesting to celebrate Mass and was buried in the Moffett mausoleum in Woodlawn Cemetery in New York City on November 16, 1904. During his tenure, in 1898 S. Clement's became the first Anglican parish in North America to practice perpetual reservation of the Blessed Sacrament.
