He completed his studies at St. Florian Monastery and made his profession on November 1, 1885. His ordination took place on July 18, 1886.

On December 13, 1915 he was elected abbot . He held this office until his death. After the establishment of the First Republic on November 18, 1918, he was appointed a member of the provisional state assembly . He carried out this task for the Christian Social Party until May 15, 1919.

Motivated by the papal letter Maximum illud and confirmed by the increase in the Wilhering order's offspring, Wilhering Abbey ventured into a missionary establishment in Apolo , Bolivia, in 1928 . Fazeny had the Wilheringen prior Justinus Wöhrer proclaimed titular abbot of Säusenstein and entrusted him with the missionary work.

Fazeny had the monastery picture gallery converted into a baroque gallery and the picture and coin collection expanded through acquisitions. A new nativity scene for Wilhering was made by the artist Josef Ignaz Sattler .

Under Fazeny, the Wilhering collegiate high school became a full high school. In 1933, on his initiative, a philosophical-theological home school was established in the same monastery.

Since 1916 he was an honorary member of the Catholic student association KÖStV Kürnberg Vienna.

Fazeny died on October 3, 1938 in Wilhering. He was buried in the Wilheringer abbot crypt.
