He studied at the Gregorian University in Rome and was ordained to the priesthood there on July 9, 1911. Shortly after ordination, Fr. Fintan was sent to the United States and he taught in the seminary in St. Nazianz, Wisconsin for a short time. After that, he devoted most of his priestly life to parish work and hospital chaplaincy. Over the course of thirty years, he served as pastor of the parishes in Alverno, near Manitowoc, in Charlestown, and in St. Nazianz. He was especially loved by the parishioners of St. Gregory’s Parish in St. Nazianz, where he was pastor for twenty-two years. Fr.

In late 1950, Fr. Fintan became chaplain of Holy Family Hospital in Manitowoc.
