Starting in August 1817, Mohr was asked to provide temporary assistance to the Oberndorf parish priest Josef Kessler.
In October, he was officially named to the open position of assistant priest (Koadjutor).
Around this same time, his supervisor was replaced with the parish priest Georg Heinrich Nöstler.
As the village of Oberndorf possessed no proper vicarage for its priests, Mohr would sleep in the church caretaker's house, while taking his meals generally in nearby "Gasthof" restaurants.
Financial problems in the parish contributed to making the relationship between Mohr and Nöstler tense.
Moreover, Nöstler was critical of his young assistant priest, accusing him of "neglecting his priestly duties, frequenting drinking locales, joking with persons of the opposite sex, and singing songs which do not edify." The deacon of nearby St.
Georgen, who served as overseer of the Oberndorfer priests, along with the town leaders in Oberndorf, responded in writing saying these accusations were unfounded.
