Our Mission


We are a 21st Century order of nuns. Our mission is to spread joy and goodwill through charitable acts and fundraising, with consideration of the special needs of the Russian River area.

This Order is based in the Russian River area in scenic west Sonoma county. The resident nuns reside in Guerneville, Monte Rio, Forestville, Freestone and Santa Rosa.

We are also a California 501c3 non-profit corporation and dedicated to serving residents of Sonoma County.

We currently have fourteen members consisting of nuns, priests and guards.!

We are active for raising funds to support charity causes which would not normally receive funding.

If you are interested in joining the order, or finding out more information about membership, please contact us email.l

Our common vows are to promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt.  We believe in creating a hate-free zone in our community by reaching out to all peoples regardless of sex, religion, sexual orientation and political beliefs.

Our Purpose

 

Since founding the Russian River Order in 2000, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Inc. have been a force for social activism in the Russian River Community and other areas throughout the world.

Our common vows are to promulgate universal joy and expiate stigmatic guilt.

Our shared ministry is one of public manifestation and habitual perpetration. We pledge support to our fellow sisters toward our personal and collective enlightenment.
