Goldberg brought the soulful choir to “The View” set, where she was also in character, dressed as Sister Deloris. The moment sparked nostalgia amongst lovers of the cult classic. With “Sister Act 3” confirmed and in the works, the moment allowed many to revisit the film and several of its singers. The stunning reunion sparked emotions from both viewers and Goldberg, who was seen getting emotional at the end of the performance.

My God. Did anybody else cry watching the 30 year reunion of Sister Act 2? My Jesus. The film has meant so much to me.

Whoopi is a godsend. Never knew some of the Sister Act 2 kids couldn’t go to their graduation because they were in production. Whoopi threw a special graduation and crowned all the kids. #TheView

However, some people online wondered why Lauryn Hill, who played a young Catholic schoolgirl and singer Rita Watson in Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit, was not included. Brian Teta, the executive producer of The View, shared that she was invited and that “every effort” was made to get her on the show, though it sadly did not happen. 

Lauryn Hill knows damn well she was invited to that Sister Act 2 reunion and she's a fool for not showing up.

Just a legacy of bad will.

A Sister Act 2 reunion and them performing ‘Joyful Joyful’ without Lauryn just doesn’t seem right. Tanya Blount just sang that thang tho. #TheView

While there is no definitive release date for “Sister Act 3,” Goldberg certainly gave supporters of the first two films a memorable moment.
