Yesterday the Sisters bestowed actor George Takei our highest honor, the title of Saint! For now on, George Takei can also be known as Saint Perspicacious, Patron Saint of Making It Okay, Steady Hand at the Helm of Social Justice, Boldly Showing that No Frontier is Final!
The Sisters raised over $5k for Outward Bound and their LGBTQ youth scholarship program! They rappelled off the 46th floor of the Hilton San Francisco Union Square for charity! These flying nuns rock! 🙏
