He came to Dungarvan in 1829 and was appointed Prior in 1835 and again in 1855.

Joseph Hansard in his History of Waterford (published 1870. p.320) gave the following description of the well associated with Father Toomy:
'The holy well at the rear of the Union Workhouse is much frequented by people who come to Dungarvan for the benefit of the sea. The one to which we have alluded to is the 'Friar's Well' in memory of the Rev. Patrick Toomy...who had in the year 1860 this well cleaned out and a stone cross affixed on it - crowds of people constantly resort to it.'
