Father George Daniel
Father George's Bio
I am Fr. George Daniel, coming from a devout Catholic family. We are three brothers and a sister. I come from Pakistan, which is a majority Muslim country. The Muslims form 98% and the rest are Christians, Hindus, and so on.
I was born in in Lahore, joined the minor seminary, then the major seminary and was ordained a priest on October 19, 1990. During this education, from then to date, I have served at seminaries and at various parishes in the
Archdiocese of Lahore.
I have been visiting to Canada and USA quite frequently for a long time. But once about four years ago, I came to attend a marriage of a parishioner of mine from Lahore, Pakistan while I was in Washington D.C. serving at a church. It was there in the marriage party, that I was invited to come to Green Bay. It took me a few years to decide because there was never a thought of serving anywhere else other than my own diocese.
Once I got in touch with the Diocese of Green Bay, COVID impeded me for more than a year. I am overwhelmed with the open-armed embrace by the clergy and faithful where I have been. I look forward to walking along with the family of God in the Diocese of Green Bay on the path to the truth and path to God.
