Les Prêtres

Les Prêtres (meaning The Priests in English) is the name of a musical trio created by the initiative of Mgr Jean-Michel di Falco.

After discussions with Didier Barbelivien, Mgr Jean-Michel di Falco Léandri, bishop of Gap and Embrun (Hautes-Alpes) proposed to two priests of the seminary of the Diocese of Gap and Embrun and a former member of the seminary, all from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Gap and Embrun to record a charity album to benefit two projects, one pastoral, to finance partially the construction of a church dedicated to Notre-Dame du Laus (in English Our Lady of Laus) in the diocese, and the other humanitarian, being financing of the construction of a school in Madagascar.

Mgr Di Falco announced that as a result of great sales, financing had been provided up to €200,000 to Notre-Dame du Laus, another €100,000 to father Pedro in Madagascar for the school project and €50,000 to the Yves Duteil Association to help open a school in India.

In March 2015, the RATP Group refused to allow a poster for a concert Les Prêtres planned to hold to include information that the concert would be held for the benefit of Christians in the Middle East.

In April 2015, the RATP Group reversed their decision and allowed the original poster.
