The Life of Sr. Mary Wilhelmina

Written by The Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of Apostles

Narrated by Gillian Vance

Sister Mary Wilhelmina Lancaster, OSB, founded the Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of Apostles in 1995 at the age of seventy. Four years after her death, in May 2023, the sisters were preparing for the reinterment of the remains of their beloved foundress after the completion of a St. Joseph Shrine. Upon seeing Sister Mary’s remains, they discovered something incredible, something miraculous— her body appeared to be incorrupt!

In The Life of Sr. Mary Wilhelmina, you will become acquainted with this most humble sister, who, after fifty years of religious life, was called to establish the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, to remain faithful to the traditional religious life and the Latin Mass. This biography includes stories of her life, her experience as a Black Catholic during racial tensions, the founding of a community, and her original poetry. Her entire life is a testament to fidelity, devotion, and surrender to God’s will.

Reviews for The Life of Sr. Mary Wilhelmina

[Connie Hulme · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

She was a beautiful soul that guides us all to be one with our Lord Jesus Christ. She was and is light to all of us. I cried for her and her love for the Lord. I love my Catholic faith and want to love Mother Mary more because of her. The book is wonderful! Thank you
