Nice pose and facial expression - I especially like the slight tilt of the head and the way she's engaging the camera with her gaze. There are quite a few blown highlights though which detract from an overall nice portrait.

Composition could be a bit stronger. Moving to the left a bit would effectively remove the woman behind the priest. Moving to the right would also work and create an interesting profile shot.

A larger aperture, even with this setup, would help isolate the priest from the background as well.

The selective desat is okay but as mentioned in previous comments not quite as effective as a full color version would be. The purple in his collar is particularly distracting. I imagine his robes were quite colorful and bright. The desat makes them look somewhat dreary.

The challenge: Great idea and the title ties it all together quite well.
