Father David Vard - One Of Ireland's Youngest Priests

Father David Vard - One Of Ireland's Youngest Priests

On this week's episode, I'm joined by Father David Vard, a Kildare native and one of Ireland’s youngest priests, who graduated seminary at just 25. Father David speaks openly about his journey to the priesthood, emphasizing the importance of faith and God in navigating life and expressing a willingness to embrace his beliefs, regardless of external judgment. With rare candour, Father David opens up about the loneliness he sometimes feels, the vow of celibacy and addresses criticism head-on, including being willing to be judged or ridiculed for his convictions. This is a conversation about spirituality as a personal journey, about growth through belief, and about the gift.
