Ground was officially broken on the site of the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine on November 19, 2019. Hundreds gathered for a “festival”-like celebration, which included food, games, dancing and music.

Spanning 4 years, the construction of the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine was a significant undertaking. This historic building in the life of the Church in Oklahoma, and the United States, was designed in the Spanish-colonial style to pay homage to the parish of Saint James the Apostle where Blessed Stanley served in Guatemala.

The dedication of the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine was divided into a week of events, culminating in the Feb. 17 dedication Mass of the shrine.

Join us for a tour led by JC Witcher, AIA of ADG|Blatt Architects along with Cooper Project Advisors.
