When three octogenarian nuns fled their nursing home and broke back into their former convent in Salzburg, Austria, they became overnight stars.
Almost every major news outlet covered them. They gained 100,000 followers on Instagram, where they posted their daily routines – a combination of praying, meeting with the community, and, more surprisingly, boxing to keep fit.
And now, three months later, the local diocese has confirmed that Sister Regina, 86, Sister Rita, 81, and Sister Bernadette, 88, will be allowed to stay at Schloss Goldenstein – but only if they agree to certain conditions.
The nuns will have to close their social media accounts, return to a more secluded monastic life, and will be put on the waiting list back at the nursing home for when they cannot be cared for at the convent.
In the meantime, they will be provided with 24-hour care medical care, and spiritual guidance from a priest, according to a statement released by their superior, Provost Markus Grasl, on Friday.
