Description
History taken from their website ”The first house began in San Francisco in 1979, followed by our own here in Sydney in 1981, and then other houses all around the world including; America, Australia, Colombia, England, France, Germany, New Zealand, Scotland, and Uruguay, with the collective number of sisters old and new over the years totalling into the many hundreds. In 1980 while on a trip to San Francisco a young Sydneysider who later became known by several Sisterly names, Sister Mae Call of the Wild, Sister Mae Call of the Wild West and Sister Medusa met the Sisters of the San Francisco House and manifested with them. Upon his return to Sydney he met up with Fabian, later to became known by several Sisterly names such as Mother Inferior, Mother Abyss, Monsignor Porkamadonna, Sister Venus de Lilo and Sister Volupta and together they worked to establish the Sydney House, known then as The Sisters Of Perpetual Indulgence. The Sisters held their first public manifestation at Long Nose Point Birchgrove [now known as Yurulbin Park] but affectionately called Long Nun Point by the OPI since that day, on Saturday 14th November 1981. Whilst each house around the world has geospecific methods of working in their own community, our common aim is to make the world a better place in which to live - one possessed of equality, respect, patience and tolerance. Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures, and so The Sisters' actions are quite overt and confronting.”
