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.

Our Sisters are sexy, they’re cute! They’re popular to boot! They’re bitchin, great veils, the rugby boys all love to stare!

This weekend, we went out to cheer for the Chicago Dragons Rugby Football Club for their final home game of the season! Next year, we’re gonna do a Sister pyramid, just you wait!
