TL;DR Summary

Thousands of people flocked to rural Gower, Missouri, over Memorial Day weekend to view the almost perfectly preserved body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, the founder of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, who died in 2019. Her remains were exhumed last month in preparation for construction of a planned St Joseph Shrine to her within the abbey’s oratory.
