The Portland Sisters enjoyed seeing you virtually in 2020. Here is a roundup of various online events and videos!
NunCraft! Making Ornaments with the Sisters! Saturday, December 12 from 6-7:30PM PST.
We made ornaments out of lids! Penelope taught us how to make an ornament out of a lid and drag detritus.
Materials for Penelope’s ornament include: lids, hot glue gun, scissors, paper clips, cute paper, photos, glitter, glue, sparky things. Use whatever you have! Use wrapping paper and greeting cards if you want a holiday-specific look.
The Portland Sisters are celebrating 15 years in 2020! Thank you to our local community for creating videos for our virtual PAAAANK event on October 17. We saw amazing work from The Northwest Queer Chorus, Clare Apparently, Whiskey Rick, Honey “Granny Bea” Hart, Zora Phoenix, Lola Coquette and the Sisters!

Let the Portland Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence take you to church for Pride! Reconnect, recharge and elevate your vibration to Pride inside. Join us for this guided Ascension Meditation for Portland Pride 2020.
In April 2020, The Portland Sisters donated 6K to six local non-profits! We wanted to help now when the money is needed most. The Sisters decided to forego our regular grant process for 2020 and donate money directly and immediately to organizations helping our community. We solicited suggestions from our members, and have donated to these six amazing organizations who each received $1000 grants from the Portland Sisters! Please join us in celebrating these wonderful non-profit organizations and thanking them for all that they do!
SAGE Metro Portland, a program of Friendly House neighborhood center, works to enhance the lives of older LGBT+ community members through education, advocacy, outreach and resource development.

Outside In provides critical medical and behavioral health services to adults and youth populations, and basic needs to youth experiencing homelessness.
