Benedictines of Mary Queen of Apostles

Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, whose body was recently found incorrupt, was the foundress of Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles. The singing nuns, have released several albums; four of their albums have topped the charts. The cloistered nuns live and farm in rural Missouri. The community of women range in age from 18 to 92. They have chosen to come away from the world and spend their days working in silence-- except for when they are singing sacred music. These are women are seeking a conversion of life. “We are in a sense reaching back through time and conserving that way of life for the future” Mother Cecilia said. The Benedictine way of life has given the church thousands of saints. Learn more at karenpulferfocht.com//// karenpulferfocht.com/blog/benedictines-of-mary-queen-of-the-apostles.

I am currently discerning this order of nuns! Prayers would be greatly appreciated

[@karenpulferfocht-vids]

Good Luck

[@catherinebracy4332]

Coincidence?? I'm becoming drawn to this order myself, although I'm still a very beginning-level discerner. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated, and I'll pray for you in turn!

[@materamabilis3]

Catherine Bracy I’m at the beginning stages of discernment as well, so I’m not sure I have much advice on this order specifically. I have emailed one of the sisters a few times so I would recommend doing that yourself in order that she can answer any questions you might have. I would highly suggest praying the Rosary daily and meditating often on the Lord’s life. God will make His plan clear to you eventually. Pray, hope, and don’t worry. I will pray for you. God bless!

Ever since I was a child going to church, without anyone telling me, I knew nuns were special.

[@lindacosgrove7918]

This beautiful video brings tears of joy to my eyes because The Lord, is In charge and I can see the church resonating amongst this evil world; what a clear sign of hope. May this Order thrive and bring the Gospel to its community- Maranatha✝️🙏❤️

[@user-op4ip3of3r]

Hey roger on that!

[@anastasiapierce5058]

I’m discerning this order. I will be visiting later this week as I’m experiencing a very strong pull to the monastic life. Prayers would be appreciated!!

[@karenpulferfocht-vids]

Good luck to you in this time of discerment.

[@connecticutyankee9706]

Dominus Vobiscum. Since they made this video, the Sisters have opened a daughter house in Arkansas as well; assuming you read this after you return, did you visit Missouri or Arkansas?

[@anastasiapierce5058]

They ended up going to Ava, MO. Not Arkansas.

[@anastasiapierce5058]

@@MissX33 I ended up not being called there. Fast forward a few years later, I’ve had to formally stop discerning altogether due to a brain injury from an accident plus other medical issues. However I strongly recommend this Order to anyone desiring this way of life. When I was there, I enjoyed my experiences there.

I am so happy Traditional Catholic women bring their faith to this high level. We're out here in the world believing as you believe.

[@deborahbriscoe-graves6244]

She's older than she looks. She spent several years playing French horn in a professional orchestra. Then becoming a nun and that takes several years....and all the work of founding their Ephesus. And she does look so young. When you trust God completely, you don't get worry lines.

I don't know who I found you other than typing in my search "Mary was pure" and I found you. I visit sites that say "Mary was not without sin" and I go in with a gusto to change minds. Too many Novus Ordo's out there are critical and I try to be calm and sweet when talking about our Blessed Mother, I love her with all my heard and She is always there for me. If I can bring some clarity to some then it's worth it. I have bookmarked your site.

The Catholic Church founded by Jesus Christ and the traditions He passed down to us are the foundations of our faith. The early church lived in community and functioned living and working together for the honor and glory of God. The early church did not have the Bible format and the Protestant Bible is based on the Catholic Bible minus a few books. STOP scourging the Body of Christ "HIS Church". I pray that you stop hurting our Blessed Lord and Savior.
