Pilgrims flocking to see the well-preserved remains of an exhumed nun north of Kansas City say her “incorrupt” body signals sainthood. The other sign has to do with the racism Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster overcame as a Black nun in the 20th century.
The Benedictines of Mary Queen of Apostles monastery still draws crowds even though its famous founder is now under glass.
She lies in a substantial stone chapel, next to a modest dormitory sitting in the middle of a working farm, 10 minutes outside tiny Gower, Missouri.
Mary Knable drove 10 hours here from Corydon, Indiana, to see the remains of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster.
“It’s a miracle,” Knable said. “She looks amazing! I am just nearly moved to tears. It was so beautiful.”

My mother was raised by nuns. My daughter was born in Our Lady of Fatima day, I went to Lady of Lourdes school as a child. I developed a friendship with a priest who worked alongside St Teresa Of Calcutta and yesterday and today Father Wayne Schmidt said mass. he personally accompanied the remains of Father Emil Kapaun to his home, there have been many working to see him declared a saint. Although not officially declared a saint, my mother certainly was one.

My parents witnessed other uncorruptibles ( probably Saints now) in Europe but I always had my doubts until now. My parents went to fatima, Lourdes and the vatican.
