In 1940 he graduated with a Bachelor of Divinity from Sewanee: The University of the South and with a Doctor of Divinity in 1952.[citation needed]

Noland was ordained deacon in November 1939 by William Mercer Green, and served as curate in St James' Church in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. After his ordination to the priesthood in October 1940, he was appointed rector of Trinity Church in Natchitoches, Louisiana. He also served as U.S. Army Chaplain between 1941 and 1946 and subsequently served as priest-in-charge of St Paul's Church in Winnfield, Louisiana.
