Churches all over the world are closed right now, but some parishes are finding ways to celebrate Holy Week virtually with their congregations. In Europe, Notre Dame is live-streaming a service this Sunday and Andrea Bocelli is performing an Easter concert from Milan. But one mega-church in Texas, helmed by celebrity pastor Joel Osteen, is bringing in the A-listers to make its online Easter service a success.
Osteen will stream Easter service online this year with guest appearances from Kanye West, Mariah Carey and Tyler Perry. The celebs will video conference into the mass for safety. Carey will reportedly sing "Hero" as a tribute to healthcare workers while TMZ reported that West's Sunday Service choir will provide music for the service and Perry is scheduled to speak during the mass. The service will not be live, but will be pre-recorded on Good Friday.
Those who want to tune into the Osteen Easter Sunday super service can do so via the pastor's social media accounts—the mass will stream on Facebook and YouTube.
