I first met the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence many years ago and over the years I kept running into one Sister in particular, Sister O. Sister O took the time to teach me what the Sisters were, and she also had a good ear for a troubled kid like me. Sister O was even at my commitment ceremony in 2004 with Sister Titty Titty Gang Bang. I have to tell you that the look on my fathers face when he met Sister O was priceless. The next July My husband and I went to the anniversary party for the Sisters at the cuff and we talked to Sister Lotus A Bowl, and that is when it hit me, I wanted to be a Sister. So the next meeting was my first.
During my journey to becoming a full professed Sister within the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the Abbey of St. Joan I found out that I was HIV Positive. This was a very difficult time in my life, but I found my community and my Sisters stood beside me and held my hand. It was because of this experience that I found my true calling to be a Sister. There are many more people out there just like me that did not have the support I did, so I have made it a part of who I am to make sure that no one feels that they are alone because of this disease. That they did nothing wrong and that they are good people. My name is Sister Stella Standing and I am still here to fight for you and let you know that you deserve to be loved.

Hello friends, I wanted to take a moment to tell you the reason I wanted to become part of the Sisters of perpetual Indulgence. long story short I was divorced and openly gay and very happy. Something was missing, I had a calling on my heart to make a difference, to be a smile to someone who needed a smile to be a hug to someone that needed a hug. I wanted people to know they could live a happy life free from guilt and shame regardless if they were gay straight, bi, or anything and everything in between upside down or around. I had a calling for my community I was not going to let this call go unanswered but I had no idea what to do about it. I saw the Sisters and I was fascinated. These angelic, sassy, and full of life, love, and great energy beautiful creatures hovering my way to greet me and make sure my sexual adventure would be one that was guilt free and safe. condom, lube, and instructions! AMAZING! Not only was I very curious but instantly it clicked, I want to do that! I want to be a unique voice in my community, I want to support HIV/Aids and std studies. I want to become a sister! I may have thought this instantly but I had to make sure it was an actually calling and not just something I wanted to do…. so 3 years later I went to my first meeting to see what it was all about and see if this was what I was supposed to do… and here I am today with a calling just as strong if not stronger than before, I love you, you are beautiful, and you deserve to be happy and live your life to its fullest and completely guilt free.
Love, Sister Nova Gyna

Sister Ivanna Manda Lei here darlings! I was born in a small outpost in Eastern Washington and was quickly shipped off to the nearest convent where the Reverend Mother took me under her wing.
After growing up and following the Reverend Mother’s teachings, I realized I needed to strike out and see what the world outside the convent held for me. Many years of searching, struggling and wanting to give back to my community, brought me to the doors of the Abbey of St. Joan. In February 2003, I started my Sister journey where Sister Daya Reckoning and Sister Scarlet O’Hairy were my mentoring sisters.
Through their mentoring, as well as all of my other Abbey Sisters, they prepared me to serve my community with a humble heart, outrageous style and to bring fun to all I encounter. May you always be a gift to yourself and those around you!
UPDATE: The Abbey is excited to announce that Sister Ivanna Manda Lei is now an official member of The Orlando Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, The Abbey of St. Gertrude De Nivelles! http://orlandosisters.org/
