The spectacle occurred when Sisters Marizele Cassiano and Marisa de Paula, members of the Copiosa Redenção congregation, broke into an impromptu beatboxing performance on Brazil’s Eternal Father TV channel while discussing a vocational retreat. 

A now-viral video of the performance shows Sister Marisa standing up and dancing while Sister Marizele sings and beatboxes a song called “Vocation,” which is about being called to a life of religious service, according to The Associated Press. The show’s presenter, Deacon Giovani Bastos, also joined in, dancing in step with Sister Marisa. Sister Marisa, who enjoys dancing, joined in without hesitation. Deacon Bastos followed their lead and the trio’s chemistry lit up the screen.

The clip went viral on social media, amassing millions of views and earning praise for the nuns’ innovative approach to connecting with young people. Their goal, however, goes beyond entertainment. The sisters use music as a tool to reach youth facing drug addiction and to encourage religious vocations. Their congregation, Copiosa Redenção, focuses on helping people overcome substance abuse and find purpose through faith.
