After completing his secondary education at the Jesuit College in Feldkirch, Aloysius graduated from law schools in Prague and in Fribourg, receiving his Dr. jur.After the completion of his education and a trip to England, Aloysius began to assume greater responsibilities as a wealthy nobleman.While he could have chosen to embark on a diplomatic career, due to his previous education and the fact of belonging to the European nobility, he chose not to.From 1898, when he succeeded his father in embracing the Catholic lay movement and had served as vice-president of the Katholikentag in Neisse, he was a member of the central committee of German Katholikentage; in 1905 he chaired the Strasbourg Tag himself, thus helping to integrate the Catholics of Alsace-Lotharingia into the German Empire.German participants were largely unable to attend the planned 1933 Allgemeiner Deutscher Katholikentag in Vienna, due to travel restrictions.
