The Singing Priest Is Back With The Most Incredible Audition
April 24, 2018
"Some people are truly given the gift of singing by God, and Father Ray Kelly is one of those people. This singing priest went viral on the internet in 2014 and now he’s back with the most incredible Britain’s Got Talent Audition.
Father Ray Kelly is 64 years old and he is a Parish Priest in Ireland. And though Father Ray has dedicated his life to serving the Lord he also loves to honor the gift God gave him, the gift of song.

credit: youtube.comFather Kelly put together a very special version of ‘Hallelujah’ to celebrate this beautiful couple. Here are some of his touching lyrics,

It is no wonder that that video went viral! And though this humble priest appreciated everyone’s kind words he didn’t do much about it until now. 4 years later, Father Ray got the chance to audition for Britain’s Got Talent, a show he has always adored.

The song may seem like an odd choice for a priest, but Father Ray beautifully explains that in his line of work he sees the pains and joys of this life and he really feels connected to the message.

And when he stops his audition there is a powerful moment of silence and awe before Simon stands up and begins the ovation. This audition will truly bring tears to your eyes. Don’t miss it!"
