Sister Attacked On Pink Saturday, Police Need Your HelpSister who was attacked (photo: Jim McClure/Stop The Violence Facebook Page)

Police need the community's help in identifying the attacker(s) of one of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence and her husband during Pink Saturday festivities in the Castro near 18th and Castro Street. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are the main hosts of Pink Saturday festivities and widely push their "Stop The Violence" campaign year round to help curb violence against LGBTQ people and offer safe places for victims of violence to seek refuge and support. It is unfortunate that one of the do-good Sisters and her husband would be a victim of violence themselves. According to a Castro Community on Patrol email alert, the Sister and her husband were physically and verbally assaulted by a group of up to seven people at the intersection of Castro Street & 18th Street. Both received some injuries and were very shaken by the incident, but fortunately neither required hospitalization. The unnamed Sister allowed a photo of her from Saturday to be released on the Stop the Violence campaign Facebook Page (attached above) to help jog the memory of people who may have witnessed the incident.
