If you wonder what parish priests do apart from celebrating Mass, let Fr. David Michael Moses give some insight.

It’s understandable if you think that parish priests have a pretty routine job. However, a recent video from 31-year-old Fr. David Michael Moses shines a light on what he gets up to on a daily basis … and it’s far from routine!

In the fun video below you’ll get a little insight into Fr. David Michael’s daily activities, and among all the typical priestly work of preparing homilies, doing some anointing calls, and praying, the busy priest also likes to keep fit and to spend time with the members of the parish.

You’ll also note the popular priest shares about two significant women in his parish life: Marta who cooks up a storm, and poor old Susan — who often gets a mention in his reels — from the parish council. (We’re absolutely sure the council is doing a great job in keeping Fr. David Michael on his toes!)

While it is fascinating to see what a priest gets up to in his day — and Fr. David Michael seems to have his days pretty jammed-packed — it’s really interesting to see the man behind the collar.

In the short video we’re also reminded of the sacrifice the clergy make in devoting their lives to God — and to their parish if they are diocesan priests. Although it’s also plain to see how rewarding this vocation can be.
