He began work as an English and Theology instructor, and in 1960 graduated in Anglo-Germanic Languages from the University of São Paulo. From 1966 to 1974 he was the Junior High Academic Counselor at Saint Emeric School and in 1975 became Headmaster, a position that he occupied until 2004. Because of his keen interest in music, Fr.
