In the year he was born, his father was granted Monthey citizenship. After attending the quorum in Sion, he entered the seminary. He was ordained priest in 1832 by Moritz Fabian Roten . The political unrest of 1843 and 1844 prevented his vicar activity in Monthey, which he had taken over in 1833. He was appointed pastor of Troistorrents in 1845. In addition, he became dean of Monthey in 1852 and in 1865 received the dignity of titular canon.
The Grand Council elected him in 1875 from a proposal of four by the cathedral chapter to succeed the late Pierre-François de Preux as Bishop of Sion. For the first time since 1418, the bishop no longer came from the area of the previous seven Zenden , but from the French-speaking Lower Valais . Pope Pius IX confirmed the choice.

The long-standing dispute between church and state, which began in 1848 with the secularization of church property and was only temporarily defused in 1859, was finally settled with an agreement in 1879. By Pope Leo XIII. In 1880 he was appointed papal assistant to the throne . Between 1891 and 1892 he chaired the Swiss Bishops' Conference . Due to his declining health, he was appointed an auxiliary bishop in 1895 with Jules-Maurice Abbet .
