Meet Sister Bernadette (88), Sister Regina (86), and Sister Rita (81)—who’ve become international sensations after fleeing their nursing home and returning to their beloved convent in Goldenstein, Austria.
Originally forced to leave due to health concerns and structural issues at the monastery, the trio staged a bold return with the help of a locksmith, emergency generators, and a growing network of supporters. Their former students now assist with daily routines, and a family doctor checks in regularly.
Despite lacking electricity, running water, and even a stairlift, these Augustinian nuns are documenting their journey on Instagram, where they’ve amassed over 10,000 followers in just days. From plunging sinks to hosting mass, they’re reclaiming their space with humor, grit, and spiritual grace.
Fresh music, bold entertainment, and men’s fashion—one tight email a week.
The dispute with church authorities continues, but one thing’s clear: these sisters aren’t backing down. They’ve become symbols of resistance, autonomy, and devotion in the face of bureaucracy and ageism.
Check out the revelation and solid tenacity from these three elderly gals!
