GOWER, Missouri ( ) — Benedictine Sisters in Missouri have discovered what they believe to be the incorrupt body of their foundress. On April 28, the Feast of St. Louis Marie DeMontfort, the body of Sr. Wilhelmina of the Most Holy Rosary, foundress of the Benedictine Sisters of Mary, Queen of the Apostles, was exhumed and discovered to be incorrupt, the current abbess of the community, Mother Cecilia, OSB, told EWTN.
