Thirty-year-old James Fenwick from Northern Ireland never thought he would become a Catholic priest. His heart was set on becoming either a motor mechanic or joining the Army. His father, however, was keen to have a priest in the family, so the young James obliged.

Following his ordination, he is placed in St Matthew's parish in Liverpool but the numbers attending Mass are declining. When he is offered a relocation to rural Cheshire's New Pastures he is reluctant but has no choice.

He struggles with self-belief yet continues to try his best for his flock. While he awaits the building of a new church he holds a daily Mass in his new home - a council house on the estate - and Sunday Mass in the local Church of England school. Slowly but surely the community warm to this kind-hearted, unconventional priest. He helps anyone who needs him - sometimes at the expense of his own reputation.

Join him on his journey of self-belief and self-discovery as he works through all kinds of obstacles: from celibacy to female friendships to befriending an ex-musician-turned-criminal to questioning his faith and potentially giving up his priesthood. Dive into this real, raw and emotional story which will have you hooked from the start.
