A months-long investigation has concluded that the body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster, OSB, who died in 2019, appears to be incorrupt.
The study, conducted by medical experts and commissioned by the Bishop of Kansas City-St. Joseph, has confirmed that there were no signs of decomposition when the body of the foundress of the traditionalist Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles was exhumed in 2023.
“Within the limits of what has been observed during this time, the body of Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster does not appear to have experienced the decomposition that would have normally been expected under such previous burial conditions,” Bishop James V. Johnston, said in a statement on 22 August.
