From the eve of Good Friday to Good Friday, Fr. spent 47 hours in his own parish and 18 hours in St. Joseph’s Church on Kane Street, Houston. David confessed.
Fr., who has many followers on social media, said that he was inspired by the life of St. John Maria Vianney, who spent a good part of his priestly ministry in the confessional. David says. He had advertised the confessional schedule through social media, inviting the faithful to the confessional with a call to ‘make this holy week a week of change in your life’.
The said invitation was accepted by the community of believers. ‘Even though he was not there when Jesus rose, he was able to see 1,167 people come back to life through the resurrection experience last week,’ Fr. David wrote on Facebook. There have been posts on social media congratulating the priest who made the invitation and those who accepted the invitation and approached the confessional.
After graduating and enrolling at the University of Houston Law School at the age of 18, David realized God’s will for him and enrolled at the Galveston Houston Archdiocesan Seminary. The priesthood reception was on June 1, 2019. In an interview given to Tana Charinathan, a news section of ‘Shalom World’ some days ago, he stated that the opportunity to give Jesus to the believers through the Holy Eucharist and to forgive their sins as Christ in the confessional keeps him attached to the priesthood.
