Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine dedication draws thousands honoring Okarche priest
It was a gathering of the faithful that transcended the Catholic faith, bringing together thousands to celebrate the life of a man who made the ultimate sacrifice for those in his care.
And more than 41 years after Father Stanley Rother – now Blessed Stanley Rother – died in his rectory in Guatemala, the shrine built to honor him is a symbol not only of his life and that sacrifice, but the example he continues to be for millions of people far beyond the Okarche farm he first called home.
