A group of pop-singing nuns will perform before Pope Francis on Wednesday, thanks in part to a viral video that made them an overnight sensation.

"Siervas" or "The Servants," took the Internet by storm late last year after the band posted a music video to YouTube.

The clip, "Confía en Dios" or "Trust in God," has been viewed more than 270,000 times. It shows the 12 sisters playing classical and rock instruments, and singing their catchy tune in their religious robes on top of a rooftop helipad.

"We posted our video online only a few months ago and couldn't believe how popular it became," Sister Monica, one of the group's leaders told CNN. "A Mexican priest watched it and messaged us saying, 'Come to Mexico,' so we did."

The Peru-based nuns are scheduled to perform in the city of Juarez, the final stop in the Vatican leader's Mexican tour. They will be the warm-up act before his last Mass of the trip.
