Spiritus Dei is the debut album of French trio Les Prêtres released in 29 March 2010 (29-3-10) and achieved success in France.
At the initiative of Mgr Jean-Michel di Falco, Bishop of Gap and Embrun (Hautes-Alpes), two priests and one seminarian in the diocese of Gap recorded an album under the label of TF1 Musique for the benefit of two projects, the first one is for a pastoral purpose (construction of a church) and another is for a charity goal (construction of a school in Madagascar).
The three singers are Jean-Michel Bardet, pastor of the Cathedral of Gap, Charles Troesch, chaplain of the Basilica of Our Lady of Laus, and Nguyen Dinh Nguyen, seminarian in the diocese.
