Sister Wilhelmina was born as Mary Elizabeth in St. Louis on Palm Sunday, April 13, 1924. From a young age Mary Elizabeth experienced a number of mystical graces that would cement her love for Jesus Christ. During her First Holy Communion she recalled seeing Jesus and hearing the words "will you be mine." She recounted that "he was so handsome" how could she say no? A young Mary Elizabeth would go on to enter the Oblate Sisters of Providence where she took the name Sister Wilhelmina.
As time went on Sister Wilhelmina grew determined to preserve and observe the traditions of religious life. From the traditional habit to the Sacred Liturgy, Sister Wilhelmina desired to serve her groom with the upmost reverence. In 1995 at 70 years of age, Sister Wilhelmina became the foundress of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of the Apostles.
Sister Wilhelmina passed away on May 29, 2019 surrounded by her loving sisters. Four years later the discovery of her incorrupt body inspired people across the world and shed new light on her incredible life.

Why her? Why now?
In order to begin understanding the mystery of Sister Wilhelmina’s incorruptibility we must begin with an understanding of her life. Who was she? What did she believe and how did she live?
Incorruptible will explore these questions and more. We’ll be retracing her steps and uncovering the pivotal moments that inspired her to lead a life of prayer and devotion to the Lord. The film will provide a glimpse of how Sister Wilhelmina's legacy continues through the work and prayer of her Benedictine sisters.
Incorruptible will be a feature-length docudrama.
Trailers and additional information will be released soon.
