On Ash Wednesday — a day traditionally set aside for reflection and renewal — Fr. David Michael Moses added a modern twist to the Lenten season by sharing the exciting news that he's reached one million Instagram followers.
In an era where sharing one’s journey of faith can feel as daring as it is inspiring, Fr. David Michael’s milestone reminds us that genuine connection is always worth celebrating.
Born with an unmistakable spark for ministry, Fr. David Michael from Houston has charmed followers with his authentic storytelling and creative ministry. Whether he’s sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of his Concerts for Life; using real-life (and often, fun) analogies that make the Church's teachings even more understandable; or opening up about his personal journey of calling and community service, his online presence has become a beacon of hope and inspiration.

Therefore, a huge congratulations to Fr. David Michael on this digital milestone, and to all members of the clergy who put themselves out there to spread their joy for the Catholic faith. After all, it takes real courage to post these reels — especially with the eyes of the world watching!
This exciting achievement is part of a broader movement within the Catholic digital community. Innovative platforms like the Hallow App (which has been downloaded over 14 million times), Formed (a media platform with over one million users across 5,500 parishes), and Word on Fire (Bishop Barron's online ministry that reached one million followers last February) have also been making waves, reaching audiences far and wide with their unique takes on prayer, reflection, and teaching.
These digital ministries prove that faith isn’t confined to the pews — it’s alive in every share, comment, and like. Of course we're biased, but we add Aleteia to this list of digital evangelizers as well!
The Catholic digital age
And along with Fr. David Michael and the apps mentioned above, there are plenty of other Catholic ministries lighting up the digital sphere. The popular Ascension Presents channel, known for its engaging and heartfelt content, celebrated reaching one million YouTube subscribers, while the Vatican’s own media channels have seen tremendous growth — connecting millions around the world.
Of course, we shouldn't forget Pope Francis, whose Twitter presence has a staggering 18.4 million followers, further emphasizing how digital platforms are becoming powerful tools for spreading the Gospel.
In the vibrant intersection of tradition and technology, milestones like these are more than just numbers. They’re a joyful reminder that when you live your faith boldly and authentically, the community finds you — and together, you create a ripple effect of hope, inspiration, and love. Here’s to Fr. David Michael Moses and all those who bravely share their light in the digital age!
