He became a brother instructor on January 5 of the same year, and then a librarian on October 23. Shortly afterwards, on May 20, 1744, he came to Wil as a pastor , where he remained until his death in 1753.

In addition to dealing with the scholastic philosophy of Abbot Celestino Sfondrati , Chrysostomus Hailland also took care of the jurisdictional conflict between Constance and St. Gallen. For this purpose, Chrysostom was supposed to "componyren" something on November 10, 1740, as Abbot Cölestin wrote. However, the document in question has not survived.
