Born in Kilreekill, County Galway. Studied in Belgium where he was ordained in 1860. Elected provincial of his order on six different occasions. A well-known nationalist, he contributed to the United Irishman; at one period he was one of two people publishing it exclusively.

He was a great-granduncle of Rev. Martin Coen, who was a grand-nephew of Fr. Thomas Cawley.
