(Church Pop) This is incredible!
One twitter user recently posted photos of three heroic priests who offered their lives for the passengers aboard the Titanic before it sank on April 15, 1912.
The priests chose to minister to passengers on the ship rather than choosing a lifeboat to save their own lives.

The full tweet reads, “The three Catholic priests aboard the RMS Titanic that refused spots in the lifeboats, choosing instead to give their lives ministering to the passengers who were stuck on the ship.”
The three priests were Fr. Thomas Byles (age 42) of England, Fr. Josef Benedikt Peruschitz, O.S.B. (age 41) of Bavaria, and Fr. Juozas Montvila (age 27) of Lithuania. Each of the priests died on the ship, and none of the bodies were recovered.
