In adorable news, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, Abbey of Saint Joan performed a surprise “Sainting” on Saturday night, December 14th during the annual The March of the Mistletomosexual bar crawl on Capitol Hill. The event kicked off at CC’s with host/creator Scott Britt on hand with his husband Randy Henson. The two have produced dozens of events over the years including many beloved parties and fundraisers under the Tacky Tourists producing banner back in the aughts.

The Sisters like to award amazing community members with “Sainthood” where they become honored saints of the local chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. This year, the Sisters had a delicious surprise laying in wait for Scott and Randy when they bestowed sainthood on both men for their year’s of service to the Seattle LGBTQ+ community. Randy was named “Saint Tackiest Tourist” and Scott was annointed as “Saint Trouble Bucket”.

Scott later posted on social media:

Randy and I were sainted by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence earlier tonight. A great honor; I have no words.
