The Austrian nuns who fled their care home are now in Rome and visited the Vatican

Sisters Rita (right), 81, Regina (left), 86, and Bernadette (center), 88, at the convent chapel of the Goldenstein castle south of Salzburg, Austria, on Sept. 20, 2025. Supporters of the three nuns flocked to the convent in a show of solidarity.

The three octogenarian nuns, who made headlines last year after they broke back into their convent, joined others at St. Peter’s Square for a general audience with Pope Leo XIV on Wednesday morning.
