Kalata was ordained a Catholic priest on 12 August 1951 and clandestinely as a bishop on 9 September 1955 by Ján Chryzostom Korec, SJ, because of the Communist government of Czechoslovakia and its persecution of the Catholic Church. On 16 March 1985 he was officially appointed a titular bishop.

Kalata died on 23 August 2018 in Ivanka pri Dunaji, Slovakia.{{Cite web|url=https://www.kathpress.at/goto/meldung/1669019/frueherer-slowakischer-geheimbischof-dominik-kalata-gestorben|title=Früherer slowakischer Geheimbischof Dominik Kalata gestorben|website=www.kathpress.at|language=de|access-date=2018-08-26}}
