A Call to Catholic Faith – Fr Gaurav Shroff (I)


Welcome to our special program on the Year of Faith, THE FAITHFUL WITNESS, a series on the lives of Inspiring People and Witnesses of faith in the Catholic Church from around the world. These are people who lived their ordinary lives in extraordinary ways. Their unique stories inspire us to be rooted in our faith. God calls each one of us today to inspire our brothers and sisters and to be witnesses of our faith.
The Faithful Witness of this week is Fr Gaurav Shroff, an American diocesan priest of Indian origin belonging to the Archdiocese of Atlanta. He was ordained a priest a month ago. Born and brought up in an Upper Caste Hindu family in India, Gaurav became a Catholic, attracted by the Gregorian music, and that too while he was still in the College. That was in the year 1990. Later pursuing his secular studies in the US, he listened to his inner prompting to follow his master more closely. In the first part of this interview today Fr Gaurav shares his journey of faith.
