The Priests

Like Il Divo, The Priests make classical music that appeals to a broad, pop-minded audience. Unlike other classical crossover acts, though, the group\'s members are all Roman Catholic priests. Father Eugene O\'Hagan, Father Martin O\'Hagan, and Father David Delargy hail from Northern Ireland, where they began singing together as students at St MacNissi\'s College. The trio later trained for the priesthood at the Irish College in Rome, and it was during this time that they were invited to sing for the Pope in the sacred liturgy. Returning to Ireland to work in their separate ministries, the three stayed linked and continued to sing together as they continued fulfilling their duties as full-time parish priests.
