Cops cuffed a Long Island priest caught with child pornography and drugs including meth in his parish home, officials said Saturday.

Police executing a search warrant about 6 p.m. Friday inside the home of Father Christopher King, 51, the vicar of St. James of Jerusalem Episcopal Church in Long Beach, found the shocking materials.

Working off a tip, cops found several files of child pornography on the holy man's computer devices, a Nassau County Police Department spokesman said.

Cops also recovered narcotics in his church residence including methamphetamines and Xanax.

Police charged King with five counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child and two counts of drug possession, officials said.

He was awaiting arraignment in First District Court in Hempstead Saturday.
