Father Des

Father Des was the priest at the church Carmel Valentine visited in June 2012 after struggling to come to terms with her injuries from a tanning lamp exploding in her face. Father Des comforted Carmel until her sisters Jacqui Ashworth, Michaela and Theresa McQueen arrived to take her back to hospital. In August 2012, Jacqui asked Father Des to visit Carmel, who was experiencing a crisis of faith. Carmel did not take kindly to Father Des's words, and exploded, telling the horrified family and Father that God did not exist.
Father Des met Brendan Brady in October 2012, forced to relive his experiences with his abusive father. He told Father Des that he thought it was too late for him to be saved, but Father Des told him that it was never too late. Brendan began speaking to father Des regularly from October to November 2012.
In March 2013, Father Des was scheduled to christen Matthew-Jesus McQueen. However, the christening failed to go ahead.
