Historic Event 1st US Born Priest was declared a Martyr last weekend.

Father Stanley Rother, the Oklahoma born martyr who served as a priest in , was beatified in Oklahoma City on Sept. 23, 2017. In December 2016, officially acknowledged Fr. Rother’s martyr- dom, making him the first recognized martyr to have been born in the . Fr. Rother was from an unassuming town in Okarche, OK, where he went to the same school his whole life and lived with his family until he left for seminary. Stanley felt God calling him to the priesthood from a young age. He graduated from Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Maryland, and a few years after being ordained, he accepted an invitation to join the mission team that was established in Santiago Atitlan in Gua- temala, where he spent the next 13 years of his life. At the village they took to calling him Padre Francisco after his baptismal name of Francis. He was know for his kindness, selflessness, joy and attentive presence among his parishioners. Over the years, the violence of the Guatemalan civil war inched closer to the once peaceful village. Disap- pearances, killings and danger soon became part of daily life, but Fr. Stanley remained steadfast and sup- portive of his people. In 1980-1981, the violence escalated, and Fr was constantly seeing friends and parish- ioners being abducted or killed. He knew they were in danger, but he was not ready to leave his people just yet. Fr. Stanley could not abandon his people, and ultimately was killed for living out his Catholic faith. Maria Scaperlanda, who has worked on Fr. Stanley’s cause for canonization, said the priest is a great witness and example: “He fed the hungry, sheltered the homeless, visited the sick, comforted the afflicated, bore wrongs patiently, buried the dead—all of it.”

October is Stewardship month! Stewardship is the grateful response of a Christian who recognizes and receives God's gift and shares these gifts in love of God and neighbor. During the next few weeks you will be hearing testimonies from fellow parishioners on how stewardship has affected their lives.
