In late 1874, Mihali was named Bishop of Lugoj, Ioan Olteanu having been transferred to Oradea. He was consecrated at Blaj the following February, and spent twenty years in Lugoj. He visited 110 parishes and held two diocesan synods (in 1882 and 1883). During his reign, many churches, schools and parish houses were built or renovated; other structures were bought and adapted for religious uses. In 1893 he led the first Romanian pilgrimage to Rome. Vancea died in 1892, and Mihali succeeded him three years later. As head of the church, he held a number of synods as well as a council in 1900 to mark the 200th anniversary of the union with Rome. He opposed Magyarization policies in education and the 1912 establishment of the Hajdúdorog Diocese. He led the December 1917 liturgy at which Iuliu Hossu was consecrated Bishop of Gherla and died the following month.[2]
