Vigilante Project: The Confessional
Vigilante Project: The Confessional focuses on the life Father Charlie Contreras, a middle aged, Latino priest at St. Jude the Apostle Catholic Church in New York City. Each day the priest interacts with, and is confronted by gangs, drugs, corrupt police, and other harsh realities of the deteriorating neighborhood.
Father Contreras starts his day with time in the confessional, which is precisely where each issue of our comic begins. Most of his parishioners come clean about jaywalking, using profanity, or petty theft. However, every once in a while someone new steps into the confessional with a story that catches the good Father’s attention. It is these stories that we proudly bring to you. The reader gets to be a fly on the wall as Father Contreras hears each individual’s confession, usually with a vigilante twist. You never know who will be on the other side of the confessional, or what they’ll say.
