He joined the Rabban Hormizd Monastery at a young age where he pursued his clerical studies and was ordained as a bishop of the Syrian Malabr Church in India on 25 July 1875.
Seven years later he was consecrated as a bishop for the Chaldeans of the Jazira region by Joseph VI Audo.During the Assyrian Genocide he tried to ask for protection from a Muslim Agha to spare the city's Christians.
His efforts were ultimately futile and he was arrested by the Ottoman authorities on 21 August 1915.
The authorities had him executed a week later alongside the Syriac Catholic bishop Flavianus Michael Malke and his body was dragged in the town's streets.
