A frisky couple had a devil-may-care attitude when they opted to have sex at a Jersey Shore church — and were caught mid-act by a priest, according to a report.

Anthony Getchius and Noelle Smart were busted Tuesday afternoon getting down underneath a statue of the Virgin Mary at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Seaside Heights, the Asbury Park Press reported.

The priest called cops, who witnessed the couple fully engaged in lovemaking around 12:30 p.m.

Police said the unholy act occurred in a “sacred area” — a secluded garden — between the church and the rectory. The Roman Catholic church is located next to the Seaside Heights Police Department on Grant Avenue.

Getchius, 43, of Newark, and Smart, 48, of Jersey City, were charged with lewdness, and Getchius was also hit with charges of creating a dangerous condition and obstructing the law.

Both were jailed pending a bail hearing Wednesday.
