Father David

I was supposed to take Father David's picture a few weeks ago but decided to try to book some time off to follow him around and avoid a set-up shot. He told me Ash Wednesday, where Catholics mark the first day of Lent by putting a cross of ash on worshipper's foreheads, would be a good day to shadow him. I think it worked out, and was glad I could avoid the ever-dreaded setup, especially for a situation like this.


On Ash Wednesday Father David Poirier proceeds to lead the service at the Saint Joseph the Worker Catholic Church where he has been pastor for a little over a year. He is a counsellor, teacher, and spiritual advisor.
