A form of the Jaffa religion persisted among those who rejected the Goa'uld as false gods -- and it continued after the downfall of the System Lords and the establishment of the Free Jaffa Nation. The new Jaffa homeworld of Dakara was regarded as an ancient holy site. Thus it is likely that priests continued to play a role in Jaffa life.
Priests are commonly recognizable by their distinct, hooded dress.
