The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, is a Benedictine order of nuns founded by Sr. Mary Wilhelmina Lancaster, OSB, in Gower, Missouri. Renowned for their choral singing, the community achieved remarkable success with their first two albums of recorded chants and hymns, both reaching number one on the classical traditional Billboard charts. The proceeds from their album sales have been instrumental in improving the monastery and eliminating its debt. In addition to their musical pursuits, the nuns attend the Traditional Latin Mass and adhere to the 1962 Monastic Breviary. The community sustains itself through the production and sale of priestly vestments, music CDs featuring their choral performances, greeting cards, calendars, and sheet music. These endeavors not only support their way of life but also contribute to their mission of prayer, worship, and service. Requests for prayers, inquiries on Sr. Wilhelmina, discernment visits, can be made on our web site. Religious gifts, giftshop, bookstore
