    Sister Pussywillow Wilchenot

    Equal parts glitter and dirt, Sister Pussywillow Wilchenot’s piercing gaze only means she’s not wearing her glasses.  She’s the smallest member, your work-a-day-genderfucking-fem-trans nun, and if you ask just right…well, just be careful what you ask for. She’ll probably give it to you.

      Carry The Banner: Pride Edition!

       

      Sunday, June 25th at 10 AM – 3PM

      WE WANT YOU!

      The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are looking for volunteers to assist carrying the Pride Flag at the beginning of Seattle’s Annual Pride Parade! Join us in carrying the banner, and celebrating our community, and have a blast with your Seattle Abbey of St. Joan Sisters!

      We ask that all volunteers be at the parade-gathering site no later than 10:30am, as the Parade starts at 11am. We will be meeting on 4th Avenue, between Union and University.

      We request your attire match the Abbey colors of Black, White, Silver, and Purple. We have Sister t-shirts available in many sizes, discounted for only $12 for volunteers(normal price $22). With that in mind, dress to celebrate whatever Pride means to you, because we love every expression our community has to offer!

      The parade is all ages, but it IS a parade, so make sure you are taking care of any younglings and four-legged friends that you may bring, appropriately. Bring water, sunscreen, whatever you may need to take care of yourself, so that you can enjoy every minute to it’s fullest!

      For more info, contact cass@theabbey.org

      Active Fully Professed Sisters

      Sister Gladys Pantzarhoff

      Sister Gladys Pantzarhoff recieved her calling on the patio of the Lone Star saloon in San Francisco in 2005.

      In March of 2006 she became a Fully Professed Sister with the Mother House in San Francisco.  Sister Gladys and her lovely husband moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2011, and after taking a couple years off to rest and settle into life in Seattle, she joined the Abbey of St. Joan in the Summer of 2016, shortly after the devastating Pulse Massacre in Orlando FL.  She felt her respite was over and it was time to get back out in the world to spread some love and joy.

      Sister Gladys uses her voice and comedic talents as a fundraiser, emcee, host and all around social butterfly.  She is an ally and voice for those who have been silenced, a fierce soldier in the fight against HIV Stigma, is an advocate for LGBTQ rights, and equality for all.

      She’s a fun-loving, naughty Nun, with a penchant for dirty martini’s,  who does what she can to promote sex positivity. She feels that sex and sexuality should be celebrated, not shamed.  In her secular life, Gladys works in HIV Prevention, supporting the community by promoting and offering free HIV testing, free access to safer sex supplies, PrEP education and access assistance, and sexual health education.

        Projects Sisters Charity Grant Fund

        2017 Charity Granting Cycle!

        The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence – The Abbey of St. Joan are opening the coffers they have been steadily filling in 2016 and are now accepting applications for their 2017 Charity Granting Cycle!

        For the last several years The Sisters have been giving out grants annually to non-profit 501(c)3 organizations in Washington State. The organizations who have qualified for grants in the past have all been supportive of our GLBTQ community in some way, including-but not limited to-HIV/AIDS services, STD prevention, GLBT Veterans, youth support, and marriage rights. Since our Grant program was started, The Abbey Sisters have given away thousands and thousands of dollars to help support our community.

        To get an application, email grants@theabbey.org with the name of your grant writer, organization, and their email address and we will be glad to send them a copy to print out with instructions on filling it out so that you give us the information we need to make a thoughtful and informed decision. You will need to provide proof of your 501c3 status to be considered.

        If you have questions about the application process even after reading the precise instructions, we’ll be available to answer questions via email also at grants@theabbey.org.

        We encourage you to get your thorough and concise application in ASAP, because it must reach The Abbey no later than midnight, June 10, 2017 to be considered. This will give us enough time to review each one before we distribute the monies at our Anniversary Party on July 15th. The competition will be even more intense this year than previous years, so make sure your application strongly reflects your work!

        April 12th, 2017

         

        Brought to you by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, we’re putting on a femme-centric all gender (and gender presentations (get at us, femme appreciators)) fundraiser for the Iranian Railroad for Queer Refugees ( http://irqr.ca/2016/ )

        Get tickets here or at the door: http://yesfemmes.bpt.me/

        Come for the femmes, stay for the ACTIVITIES:

         Femme speed mixing- Meet folks for friendship, dating and more!

        MINGLO- Bingo for humans! Use the MINGLO card we give you to find new friends, strike up conversations and win prizes

         Photobooth- Strike your best pose for the Insta

         Raffles- Win a gift certificate to a local restaurant just for showing up

         Confessional booth- Confess your sins (or just brag about last weekend, w/e) to a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence

         Pitch a friend- Is your best femme super dreamy? Pitch their best assets to the crowd for a hangout, and raise money to help queer Middle Eastern refugees seek asylum. Email eyema@theabbey.org to sign up for this part!

         

        ACCESSIBILITY

        The Wildrose is a lesbian owned and oriented bar that welcomes all people. The bar has three steps. There is frequently smoking by the entrance to the bar, and it is not a scent free space. There is one gender neutral one stall bathroom and one multi-stall bathroom.

        Parking sucks on Capitol Hill; try the light rail or the 11 bus line. Bros can be sketchy in this neighborhood, if you can, try and come and leave with a friend.

        This is Novice Sister Eyema Proudayeaux’s novice sister project. Their mothers are Sister Helen Jenny Tulls and Sister Castrata.
