I know this name means "of the sky, heavenly" in Late Roman/Latin but I have asked around and not many people know the pronunciation. Do any of you know or have any idea how it is pronounced?

When I've sung the word, we've said cheh-LESS-tees, but pronunciations sometimes differ between singing and speaking.
