Overview of the Boston Sisters

The Boston Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are a chapter of a non-profit group of activist nuns working for social justice. Founded in 1979, their mission is to build community through outreach, education, ministry and entertainment.

Members of all gender identities and orientations are welcome. The group conveys its message and values through irreverent wit, flamboyant attire, and support for marginalized groups.

Values and Philosophy

At the core, the Sisters promote joy, inclusion and non-judgementalism. Their philosophy encourages living authentically without guilt or shame.

As "sacred clowns," the Sisters push boundaries of what society considers normal. They aim to foster acceptance of all lifestyles and create a more compassionate world.

Outreach Programs and Activism

The Boston Sisters organize a range of programs assisting those in need. Their initiatives have included food drives, fundraising for AIDS and trans health resources, prison outreach and more.

On a national level, the group advocates for LGBTQ+, women's and civil rights. The Sisters participate in Pride events worldwide to increase visibility for oppressed communities.

Empowering the LGBTQ+ Community

Many Sisters identify as LGBTQ+ and the organization has deep roots caring for queer people impacted by HIV/AIDS. Through mentorship and representation, the Sisters uplift LGBTQ+ voices.

Their services extend love and support to all who have felt excluded. The Sisters aim to cultivate confidence and resilience in the face of discrimination.

Spreading Joy and Acceptance

With their bold style and humor, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence promote radical self-expression. They remind us to embrace life's pleasures without shame.

The Boston Sisters bring more light and warmth into the world. Their ministry of "attitudinal healing" carries an empowering message: be true to yourself and love unconditionally.
