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.

Hundreds of brave souls with warm hearts will once again take the plunge in chilly waters to raise much needed funds for Special Olympics Northern California. The Polar Plunge is not a swim. It’s a party and another excuse for San Franciscans to dress up in a crazy costumes and then plunge into the cool waters of the bay. Prizes are awarded to the best costumes (as judged by the Sisters) and top fundraisers. It's even rumored that there will be a few Sisters this year plunging. Immediately following the plunge is a party!
