He taught for many years at the Rensselear Polytechnic Institute, eventually serving as the dean of the institute from 1991. He also served, from 1971, as the pastor of Christ Sun of Justice University Parish in Troy, New York. He wrote several books and articles on a wide variety of subjects, but Father Phelan's primary interest was in the arts; he served on the Catholic Art Association, the Architecture and Building Commission of the Roman Catholic Diocese and the Hudson-Mohawk Gateway and received the 2001 New York State Preservationist LIfetime Achievement Award. His interest in the arts is well-reflected in this handsome set: each piece is hand-crafted and masterfully finished, a testament to Lehtonen's craft and the Rev. Phelan's passion.
