Great story and thank you for answering the call to a priesthood vocation.
The light of Christ shines through you Fr ! May you draw many young people into the knowledge of Christ s love for them ! Thank you for sharing your vocation journey with us !
The youth of today needs Priests such as you, they are too into their phones and lack exercise. This will definitely motivate them and lead them to God.
You have chosen the best path. May the Holy Spirit guide your every step Fr. Bring more and more souls to God by your music, songs and most of all your very life. Praying for you Fr.
Good on you Father Derrick.
My parish priest is a Singaporean Chinese too. He became a Catholic when his crippled sister walked again.
Your story make me cry out of joy. May God always lead your way.
Keep it up Father !! We pray that more of priesthood youth chooses the same for the love and praises of God !! Stay Blessed our Good wishes and Blessings !! 🙏🏻❤️
Thankyou Father for your work to bring the kingdom of God down to this earth. Every priest is a blessing. My love to your family that has given us you a gift to the catholic church . I pray that you use your talents to the full for the glory of God.
Rev Father Derrick Yap a certainFilipina ofw Gina Bardon Dapat was supposed to take a long vacation to Cebu City Philippines. She had a booked plane ticket for this week December but she got a serious illness on December 3 . On December 9 she underwent brain surgeries at Tan Toch Seng and most probably still recuperating in her hospital bed. Please do the goodness of singing her a Christmas carol. Her family , spouse and three kids are waiting because since May 2019 she was not able to visit the Philippines and of course to her family. Thank you for the liturgy of the word during the pandemic. God bless us all

According to the scriptures, priests are not a blessing. Cause Jesus abolished priesthood two thousands years ago. He is now and forever, our high priest , according to the order of Melchizedek. See Hebrews chapter 7, verse 17.
This is religion to deceive those who do not know the word of truth. Put your faith in Jesus, and be saved today.
Absolutely amen
I Love listening to you since I do am a Franciscan
God Bless you Brother
Feel Proud to have a talented Priest like you,May God use your talents for His Glory.God bless and guide you always fr.. 🙏❤️

What a beautiful story and another great example of the how wonderfully God works in our lives. I’m glad and grateful that RUclips had led me to this video, not being a subscriber of this channel (now I’m), on the day before Christmas Eve. I want to dedicate my humble life to God, to do His works. This video is very touching, the story and the way you made it. I actually cried watching the beautiful moments that you captured in the video. Keep up your good works and spread the God’s Love!

God Blessings🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
My name is Rose, you story and your dance as a priest is absolutely blessed 🎄🌟🛐🎄🌟🛐🌟🎄 🌹
I would love to share your story with others. There was a time some Christian schools wouldn’t take non-Christian students. I tried convincing the decision makers then. Singing and dancing are my passion too. It’s all to glorify our God our maker 💖👍🙏
its likely that Christian school was Protestant .They do also discriminate against Catholic ,unless we convert to their religion .here locally the Catholic school has students from different religions ,race etc.
Amen. Thank you Fr. Derrick...God bless our music ministry for the glory of Jesus:) Merry Christmas:)
Praise God Dear Fr Please keep 🕺 keep singing 🎶 keep praising Keep loving Our Blessed Mother and Our Blessed Remember Jesus, Love fm India 🇮🇳 New Delhi . Dear Fr Thanks a Million for Saying " Yes" When you were called 🙏
Fr. Derrick, you are a reality in the fullness of life and here's why. Pythagorean tuning is a system of musical tuning in which the frequency ratios of all intervals are based on the ratio 3:2. This ratio, also known as the "pure" perfect fifth, is chosen because it is one of the most consonant and easiest to tune by ear and because of importance attributed to the integer 3. You will learn more of yourself as you go on, and I know you will. Blessed to be a blessing.
Praise Jesus 🙏
Fr, very inspiring testimony 🙏
Beautiful. Love the monastery cats too.
Praise the Lord
Wow. What a blessing you are.
I am happy for you Fr. that you make a new song for us. God bless you and your congregation.
Thank you for this inspiring film.

God bless you always 🙏

Nice getting to know you better from this clip, Fr Derrick. I told you when I bumped into you on the recent long distance coach journey and I reiterate it now, you have a great singing voice! Maybe I'll just add that this is probably what the glorious angels in heaven sound like :) :) Christmas blessings on the anniversary of your baptism!
Thank God for amazing grace. Thank you for your YES Padre.
May the Holy Spirit continue to be your guide 🙏🏿
Thank you for sharing this beautiful conversion and vocation story. Fr. Derrick, you have an amazing voice! Maybe they can include a link to your music? Love that your house includes animals too, especially kitty who likes to play with the Franciscan cord. :)
You were chosen as a priest. Keep spreading the word of Jesus Christ. Keep singing and dancing!
Thank you father 👌
What a beautiful blessing to be a part of the St Mary of the Angels community since Dec 2003 when I moved here in Singapore. SMOTA is a vibrant and happy place filled with eager and lovely parishioners and amazingly talented priests who connect with people to bring God's love and words in the most practical yet in heart-piercing- and-soul-searching ways. We, too, are blessed with our brilliant parish priest, Friar Michael and the many priests who came in and out of St Mary's who had became very dear friends to many of us. 💖🙏💖 Fr Derrick did my wedding at the chapel and though it was very small and intimate it was filled with beautiful music of praises and his singing. Thank you very much for everything that you do, Fr Derrick 🙏 We look forward to the launching of this album!😍🤩🥰
Acts of God Almighty to serve him 🙏 and to be come Priest 🙏 🙌 God bless you Fr
My favourite priest in Singapore 🇸🇬. . He looks more awesome as he gets older.
God bless you in your journey and be with you.Father Derrick beautiful message down to earth.Bless you and your family.
Thank You Jesus for the gift of the Priest . May your songs bring faithfuls closer to Jesus.🙏🏼
If you knew your bible, you would know that Jesus never gave us priests as gifts! Jesus has even abolished priesthood two thousand years ago. He is now our high priest, forever and ever, in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews chapter 7, verse 17.

I am hapy that you know the Bible well but I'm unhappy s that you lack knowledge or being unwilling to know about Priesthood in Our Catholic Faith.
I have not comented to seek any one's attention but to openly Thank God for the valuable gifts (Priests) to the world .
Those who like the coment does not means that the like My coment but they too expreses theit gtatefullness to God for the gift of the Singing Priest as we all like praise & worship songs. May this Christmass bring Health ,peace & Joy to the world.
Thank you
@@sprouts6158 I know very well what catholic faith is, cause I was myself a Roman Catholic until I reached forty years old. And it's not based on the truth of the word of God, but on tradition of men.
The bible teach that priesthood was valid under the Old covenant only, under Moses law. Jesus Christ Himself has abolished priesthood, by his own death and resurrection. He is now our high Priest, for all eternity, in the of Melchizedek. Hebrews chapter 7, verse 17.
So, who is right here? You and your Roman catholic doctrine, or God and His word?
Learn the truth from the scriptures, and get saved today. John chapter 3, verse 16
@@donaldgodin3491
I am not interested to discuss about it for when there is a will there is a way to understand & believe .
I hope and pray that one day you'll get back to your Catholic faith in which lots of graces could be obtained through the holy hands of a Priest..
God bless.
