Current members of the Abbey of St. Joan



A community builder, ancestral connector, lore lover. The tales and fables of old tell the truths of our soul and how we navigate the world. Keeping the old traditions and adopting new ones Morgana honors the Nuns Above (Sisters who have passed away) and finding ways to fuse the old traditions with new ways of thinking. Morgana D. Stroker believes that kink play should be de-stigmatized and that shame has no place in a queeratarian’s growth. This queer, non-binary sister has a passion for reclaiming the parts of the calendar that bring trauma or loss to the LGBT community with events like “Tina, Bring Me the Axe”, an event to bring light back to Mother’s Day. In using all the tools in their bag of tricks this sister believes in hard transformations while helping others ground, center, and heal.


Sister Joy is your friendly neighborhood whimsy clown. Her purpose is truly in her name, joy! She’s always there to share a smile, a giggle, and a fun fact about staying safe while still getting out there and living life to the fullest. When she’s not with her gaggle of Sisters, you’ll most often find her shaking what her mama gave her out in the dance floor.


Hailing from the hills in the eastern-side of the Cascades, Bernadette Bush (Berna) grew up on the internet looking to the rainbow tinged city of the west, and under the watch of gaggles of Lesbians. After making scenes and dreaming big schemes, she gallivanted down to Portland, where she found this odd set of white-faced drag clowns. Befriending a few, she, a young professional lady of drinking joined them and elevated to Novice. After 10+ year journey through deserts, forests and liberal arts school: she is back, in Seattle, with her full-grown wimple. She is back to making scenes and dreaming big schemes.

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.

Friar Stogie of the Eternal Soaken Briquette was born and raised in America’s Finest City of San Diego in 2005 along with his paternal twin sister – Sister Lita Stogie of the Moaning Sisal.
At the beginning, Sister Lita took the reins of the two personas in assisting the others (11 Sisters and 2 guards) in the formation of The Asylum of the Torture Heart – The San Diego Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.
Both siblings, Friar Stogie and Sister Lita, are dedicated to the promulgation of universal joy and the expiation of stigmatic guilt. Sister Lita enjoys a sweet Punch cigar when she works closely with the Lesbian and Gay Rodeo Communities. While Friar Stogie steps up to the plate and burns up a CAO maduro Brasilia cigar while he works with the Bears, Leather/Fetish/Kink and recently the Transgender Communities
In the cool winter days of the 2007 during the wildfires of San Diego, Friar Stogie/Sister Lita and along with his family decided a change was in order, so they packed their stuffs and moved to the Pacific North West. By the beginning of 2008, the family settled in Olympia, WA and soon after Friar Stogie / Sister Lita requested a transfer to The Abbey of St. Joan.
When Friar Stogie is in town, he can usually be found at The Cuff Complex dancing or sitting outside enjoying a nice large cigar. Friar Stogie is a professional photographer when not in the Olympia monastery. His work can he seen at http://www.flickr.com/people/friarstogie/. You can also check out Friar Stogie on Facebook.
