St.
Paul's Catholic Church |
When Whoopie
Goldberg does her nun routine, she does it here at St. Paul's
Catholic Church. In the 1992 comedy Sister Act, directed by Emile
Ardolino, Whoopie is Deloris Van Cartier, a Las Vegas nightclub performer
who witnesses a murder then hides out here, disguised as a nun. Maggie
Smith, Kathy Najimy, and Mary Wickes play the nuns who take a shine to
Whoopie's "Sister Mary Clarence," especially after Mary Clarence breaths
new life into the parish choir. Harvey Keitel also stars. A 1993 sequel
directed by Bill Duke features hip hop star Lauryn Hill. In Sister Act
2: Back in the Habit, Sister Mary Clarence saves the parish by training
its young people to win a choir competition.
