Became a Postulant at Milltown early in 1878.
1881 He was sent to Gardiner St and carried out many duties there, including that of Infirmarian very successfully. When the famous Sicilian sacristan Azzopardi was showing signs of failing health, Thomas assisted him and eventually took complete charge - apart from a couple of years at Crescent as Sacristan. He carried on this work at Gardiner St for twenty-five years. His friendly manner and respect for all classes of people won him a lot of friends. He was an excellent religious, and gave great edification by his devotion to duty, as well as his patience and resignation during his short illness. He died after a week’s illness 01 April 1917 in Gardiner St.
