Who are the Sisters?

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence® is a leading-edge Order of queer nuns. Since our first appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday, 1979, the Sisters have devoted ourselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges, and to promoting human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment. We believe all people have a right to express their unique joy and beauty and we use humor and irreverent wit to expose the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.

Nuns' Rock


The Sisters first permanent memorial in the world was unveiled December 2012 at the AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, and is dedicated to all Sisters worldwide who have passed "through the veil."

We would like to thank the generosity of San Franciscans who contributed to this memorial. We are truly humbled.
