Second City Sisters

Second City Sisters We are your Second City Sisters, Abbey of the Irreverent Bean! We are a mission house of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence based in Chicago, IL!

The Second City Sisters is a q***r organization of secular nuns that vows to promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt throughout the North, South, and West sides of Chicago and surrounding communities. Using our hallmark irreverent wit and parody, we combat shame and exclusion for all people, with a particular focus on the LGBTQ+ community. We are guided in our work by our central values of activism for justice, service, community, and self-expression.

This weekend, the Second City Sisters were honored to help open Chicago Fe**sh Weekend with a blessing rooted in joy, community, and unapologetic authenticity.

As we looked out across contestants, titleholders, organizers, volunteers, and community members, we were reminded that leather, kink, and fe**sh spaces are built not only on passion, but on trust, consent, courage, and chosen family.

Our blessings celebrated every person brave enough to show up as their authentic self. We wished everyone safe travels, meaningful connections, fierce competition, and plenty of moments of laughter that remind us why community matters.

To every contestant who stepped onto that stage—you’ve already won by having the courage to be seen.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed the Sisters into this incredible weekend. May your boots stay polished, your gear fit perfectly, your l**e never run dry, and your hearts remain open to the joy that comes from living authentically.

Go forth, be safe, be kinky, and remember: joy is sacred.

❤️🖤

Yesterday, the Second City Sisters were honored to join our siblings, the Brew City Sisters, at Kenosha Pride! 💜🌈

Together, we shared blessings, laughter, hugs, and joyful visibility with everyone who stopped by. Every conversation, every smile, and every moment of connection reminded us why this work matters. Pride is more than a celebration—it’s a promise that no one has to stand alone.

Thank you to the Brew City Sisters for your incredible hospitality and for sharing the day with us. And thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate, receive a blessing, tell your story, or simply bask in the joy with us.

Our mission continues wherever we’re called: to promulgate universal joy, expiate stigmatic guilt, and remind every person they are loved, worthy, and beautifully authentic.

Until next time, Kenosha—keep shining. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Yesterday we took to the streets with thousands of our LGBTQ+ siblings, allies, friends, and chosen family for Chicago Pride. 🌈

People often ask what the Sisters do. Yesterday was the answer.

We smiled with strangers, hugged those who needed one, blessed those who asked, danced without apology, and reminded people that joy is sacred. In a world that can feel heavy, choosing joy is an act of resilience—and sharing it with others is an act of ministry.

Every wave, every laugh, every “Happy Pride!”, every blessing, and every moment of connection reminded us why we show up. Not just to celebrate who we are, but to help create a world where everyone knows they belong.

To everyone who cheered, took photos, shared their stories, or simply smiled as we passed—thank you. You filled our cups right back up.

Keep spreading kindness. Keep celebrating each other. Keep choosing joy.

Happy Pride, Chicago. 🖤🤎🤍🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
