The New Incorruptible | FORWARD BOLDLY

August 30, 2024

In the spring of 2023, the body of Sr. Wilhelmina Lancaster was found remarkably preserved, in spite of sitting in a puddle of water for four years in damp Missouri ground. She had never been embalmed, and her simple, unsealed wooden casket had allowed dirt to seep through.

Since then the life and legacy of this joyful, tough-minded, traditional nun has been made known throughout the world.

In light of recent news that an in-depth examination in the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph confirms Sr. Wilhelmina is indeed incorrupt, we are re-airing our episode with Sr. Mary Josefa, who speaks on the life, work and devotion of this remarkable nun.

About Stella Maris Media

Our vision

The name Stella Maris has its roots in a 5th-century translation by St. Jerome of the Hebrew name for Mary, Miryam. Originally written as Stilla Maris, it meant "Drop of the Sea." Through what likely stemmed from a transcription error, this evolved into Stella Maris, which means "Star of the Sea."

This title has been cherished in Catholic tradition, especially among seafarers before modern navigation, as they relied on the stars to guide them. Notably, the North Star, Polaris, was also known as Stella Maris.

Beyond just seafarers, Stella Maris serves as a beacon for all of life’s travelers, illuminating the darkness and offering hope as it cuts through the fog, guiding us toward the bright shores of eternity.

"Bringing hope to a world in need."
