Father Mychal Judge (1933-2001) was a Catholic priest and Franciscan friar who made many positive things happen in and around New York City, including his service as chaplain to the NYC Fire Department. And was he ever a character.

This "mock musical" - lightheartedly organized around the chronology of Judge's life and times - uses Celtic folk and rock, Christian classics and praise music, and musical theater to celebrate his story.

Here's a great source to learn more about him: http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/sept11/features/5372/
