The Archdiocese of Malta is to present a concert by The Priests - three priests from Northern Ireland who have made a name for themselves in concerts in several countries.

The concert will be presented to mark the Year of Faith. It will be held at the Catholic Institute on June 21 at 7.30 p.m. 

Also taking part will be soprano Gillian Zammit.

The repertoire will include You raise me up, Funiculi Funicula, Bring Him Home, Pie Jesu, You’ll never walk alone, Amazing Grace, Ave Maria and Panis Angelicus.

The Irish trio have been singing together since they boarded in the 1970s as students of St MacNissi’s College in Ireland. After signing a deal with SonyBMG in 2008, the priests recorded their debut album, with the unusual honour of having been allowed to record in St Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

The album ‘The Priests’ has been released in over 30 countries and to-date has sold more than one million copies in Ireland alone.

They also recorded two other albums, ‘Harmony’ and ‘Noel’, which have also been successful and claimed several awards.

The group’s concert schedule does not follow the usual band format, as they willingly emphasis that their priestly ministry and pastoral work in their respective parishes will always remain a priority. Their message through music and song is intended to go beyond religion and culture, and aims to deliver peace and hope to the world.
