That success soon spread around the world as music fans became captivated by the three Irish clergy members committed to both their local parish and to their music. Further recordings followed, including a Christmas CD released in 2010.

The Priests now showcase their seasonal classics in a one-hour Christmas special, "Christmas Carols With The Priests." Set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Fathers Eugene and Martin O'Hagan (brothers) and Father David Delargy bring the festive season alive with a collection of holiday favorites delivered with a "little priestly twist."

The Priests are on Facebook.
