We’re proud to welcome back Sister Roma as our distinguished emcee for Light in the Grove. A beloved member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, she brings her signature blend of wit, warmth, and spirit to this powerful evening of remembrance and love. For more than 30 years, Sister Roma has been a bold voice for LGBTQ+ rights, HIV/AIDS awareness, and social justice. Her presence reminds us that joy, visibility, and community are essential parts of remembrance.
