Fr. Lawrence Carney was ordained for the Diocese of Wichita in 2007. He was Chaplain of the Benedictines of Mary, Queen of Apostles from 2013 to 2022, where he knew Sr. Wilhelmina. He has been a missionary priest in the streets of Wichita and other U.S. cities over the last decade, wearing the cassock and carrying a crucifix and a rosary in each hand in an effort to bring souls to the Catholic Church. In 2017, he began the League of St. Martin, a pious association of the faithful that prays for reverence, reparation, and reversion—the chief goals being enrollment in the Archconfraternity of the Holy Face and the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary. He has authored six books, including
The Secret of the Holy Face: The Devotion Destined to Save Society.
