Fr Patrick Van Der Vorst shares the remarkable story of how he left a successful career at Sotheby’s to answer his calling to the Catholic priesthood at the age of 48.

In this clip, Fr Patrick reflects on his journey from the world of art and antiques to the priesthood, his years at Sotheby’s, and the profound sense of restlessness that ultimately led him to discern God’s call.

A lifelong lover of art, Fr Patrick also explains how his Catholic faith shaped the way he experienced Christian art, and why faith can transform the way we see beauty, particularly in sacred art.

From Sotheby’s and the international art world to Westminster Cathedral and the Catholic priesthood, this is the story of an unexpected vocation and what it means to listen when God calls.
