S4 | Episode 41: Kuya Father: Fr. Migs on Choosing the Priesthood Over the Spotlight

He built feasts. He led worship. He almost had a singing career. Tapos naging pari.


This week on That Sounds Holy, we sit down with someone very special to us — the one and only Kuya Father, Father Migs — a mentor who walked so we could run. Before the collar, he was a Star City Feast Builder, a theater kid, and a singer with "sobrang ganda ng boses" (his words, and ours too, honestly 😌).


We talk about:

- His discernment journey — from wanting to be a priest in 4th year high school, to leaving the seminary, to finding his way back through the Jesuits

- The moment his spiritual director told him "you will not be a Salesian priest" (and why that was actually a gift)

- Choosing the priesthood over a possible career in singing and theater

- What "ontological change" means (yes, we made him explain it twice)

- Answering YOUR donut questions: why we receive just the bread during Holy Communion, why guilt lingers even after confession, and where humility ends and self-rejection begins


Grab your coffee (or donut) and settle in — this one's equal parts funny, real, and deeply holy.
