About Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles

The Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles, are a Benedictine order of nuns founded by Sr. Mary Wilhelmina Lancaster, OSB, in Gower, Missouri. The nuns are also choral singers, and their first two albums of recorded chants and hymns reached number one on the classical traditional Billboard charts. They were thereafter named Billboard's Classical Traditional artists of the year in 2013, the first community of nuns to win an award in the history of Billboard. Their album sales have been used to improve the monastery and pay off the abbey's debt. The community also attends Mass in the traditional form and prays the 1962 Monastic Breviary.
