About The Sisters
The South Florida Sisters started in January 2009 by Sister Penny Trater along with 9 other volunteers who have a desire to raise money and awareness that ultimately benefits the LGBT community. The Fort Lauderdale community was introduced to the sisters in March on the weekend of Pridefest. 
As a fully recognized Missionary Order of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, we are an order of Post-Modern Nuns, dedicated to the promulgation of omniversal joy, and the expiation of stigmatic guilt. We put the fun into fun-draising.
The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence came into existence Easter weekend in 1979. Four men dressed in full traditional nun habits went out into the San Francisco community and began what has become the Sister’s mission. The Sisters are an Order of 21st Century nuns dedicated to the promulgation of universal joy and the expiation of stigmatic guilt. Our ministry is one of public manifestation and habitual perpetration. Since 1979 many have heeded the calling and there are now hundreds of Sisters, manifesting in countries all around the world. Some people say we are mocking nuns. We don’t mock them, we honor them.
We are called the nuns of the gay community. We take our vows very seriously and, like our counterparts, we strive to educate, care for the sick, and help others through charitable acts and fundraising. The South Florida Sisters are dedicated to continuing the work started by those 4 Sisters 30 years ago. Oftentimes we are seen raising money and hosting our own events or co-hosting with any organization that shares our mission.
