The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, San Francisco’s revered and irreverent drag nuns, were delighted to invite the community once again to celebrate Easter with them on Sunday, March 31, 2024, in Dolores Park. 

Easter 2024 marks the forty-fifth anniversary of the Sisters. It all began in 1979, when a group of gay men appeared in the Castro wearing nuns’ habits on a lark and discovered a need for nondenominational and nonjudgmental ministry. Today, there is a global order of houses around the country and the world. We promulgate universal joy, expiate stigmatic guilt, and raise funds to support marginalized communities.

Since their appearance in San Francisco on Easter Sunday 1979, the Sisters have devoted themselves to community service, ministry and outreach to those on the edges.

Using humor and irreverence, they promote human rights, respect for diversity and spiritual enlightenment, all the while exposing the forces of bigotry, complacency and guilt that chain the human spirit.
Sisters from across the globe came to celebrate the landmark anniversary and reconfirm their vows in the city where their Order was born. This image was captured during the 40th Anniversary Easter Celebrations held in Dolores Park, San Francisco, 21st April 2019.
