Our Lady of Columbus: No. 1 Lending Habit for Mother Cecilia (née Hornist Martina Snell) and Missouri's Benedictines of Mary
The Benedictines of Mary may be one of the most unlikely success stories in the recording industry. Their third album on the De Montfort Music/Decca label, 'Lent at Ephesus,' debuted at #1 on the Billboard classical chart. These 22 Sisters live a monastic life on a secluded farm in rural Missouri, and most are not aware of how successful their albums have been in the secular world.
