The Sisters exist as an order of 21st century nuns dedicated to the promulgation of universal joy and the expiration of stigmatic guilt. Their ministry is one of public manifestation and habitual perpetration. The sisters work to raise money for AIDS charities, fight for queer rights and visibility, do safer sex outreach and strive diligently to keep their sense of humor, never taking themselves so seriously that they forget to have fun!
