E191: Father Conor McGrath on Priesthood, Social Media and Changing How People See the Church
About this episode
Father Conor McGrath discusses his journey in the priesthood and the evolving perception of the Catholic Church in modern society.
Father Conor McGrath is a Catholic priest, vocations director and one of the youngest men to become a parish priest in Ireland. Father Conor talks about being called to priesthood from a young age, becoming ordained at 25, and what life as a priest is really like today. Faith, loneliness, people walking away from the Catholic Church, social media, women in the Church, leadership, parish life, different cultures coming together, and why asking questions about religion matters were all discussed. Whether you are a person of faith, have stepped away from the Church, or are simply curious about priesthood and modern religion in Ireland, this is an honest conversation about faith, community and belonging.
