Fortunately for those who were not in attendance, the entire ceremony was being professionally filmed by a local videographer named Patrick Rushe. After the footage was uploaded online, the performance garnered immediate and widespread attention. The video was a viral sensation, accumulating more than 2.5 million views in just four days, allowing a global audience to experience the talent of the singing priest. This unexpected digital fame highlighted his unique ability to connect with people through his music.
Despite the massive viral success of his performance and the widespread public acclaim for his singing, Father Kelly has no intention of transitioning into the music industry. When asked about the possibility of pursuing a full-time singing career, he remains steadfast in his commitment to his vocation. He has clearly stated that while he finds genuine joy in singing, he would not want to do it as a full-time profession because he loves the work he performs as a priest. He continues to serve in his ministry, maintaining his current role as his primary focus.
