Rapping Houston seminarian spreads message through music

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- When you think of a Catholic priest, you may not think of rapping, drum solos and crowd surfing. However, one local seminarian is changing that perception and he hopes that inspires young people to live a life of devotion to God.

David Michael Moses is a 23-year-old seminarian at St. Mary's in Houston.

He graduated from college at the age of 18 and applied to law school. As a teenager, says he prayed about his options and that's when he says he felt the calling to apply to seminary school to become a Catholic priest.
