Join the Cincinnati Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence

What It Takes to Be a Sister

Darlings, becoming a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence is so much more than just slapping on some fabulous white face paint and glittering up a gown (though we do love a good stoning session). It’s about answering a calling—a divine summons to spread joy, serve our community, and uplift those around us with love, compassion, and just the right amount of irreverence.

Yes, we’re often seen raising funds with a wink and a nudge, but our work goes far beyond the dollars. We’re ministers of presence, educators of the heart, and entertainers who turn every moment into a celebration of life. From organizing grand events to sitting quietly with someone in need, our work is as varied as it is vital.

The Work of a Sister

Our ministry is a labor of love, and it takes dedication, creativity, and a hefty dose of fabulousness. We throw events that dazzle, visit spaces to bring comfort, and educate wherever we can—whether in a classroom or a chance encounter at the local bar. Being a Sister requires many skills: a heart full of compassion, the ability to juggle multiple roles with grace, and the willingness to invest time, energy, and yes, sometimes your own coin, into this sacred work. The work is only limited by your imagination – if you have a calling for a specific cause that fits within our values, we can help you serve it.

What We’re Looking For

We’re on the lookout for souls with a fire in their bellies—a passion for service, a desire to perform, and the heart to connect deeply with others. We value honesty, a genuine spirit, and the ability to play well with others. After all, we’re more than just a service organization; we’re a family, and like any family, we need to mesh, love, and occasionally, bicker like the queens we all are at heart.

Our Sacred Calling

This isn’t just a gig; it’s a vocation. For many of us, becoming a Sister is a lifelong commitment. Our outer expressions may change, but our dedication to spreading joy, expiating stigmatic guilt, and serving the LGBTQIA+ community remains unwavering. It’s a path full of challenges, but the rewards—oh, the rewards are as rich as they are enlightening.

Ready to Take the Plunge?

If your heart is beating a little faster and you’re feeling that flutter of excitement, then it’s time to take the first step. Come to one of our events, see us in action, and strike up a conversation. There’s no better way to know if this is your path than by experiencing it firsthand.

Your journey begins with a chat with our Mistress of Novices. She’ll do a vibe check—see if you’ve got what it takes to join our merry band of mischief-makers. If she sees potential, you’ll be invited to declare your Aspirancy at one of our general membership meetings. If it’s not the right fit, or the right time, don’t worry—there are plenty of ways to serve and make a difference in our fabulous city.

So, are you ready to throw on some glitter and walk this path with us? We’re waiting with open arms, a splash of laughter, and a whole lot of love. Please drop us a note on our contact us page to find out where you can see us next!
