Stanley Francis Rother was born March 27, 1935, in Okarche, Oklahoma. After being ordained a Priest, he sought and received permission to join the staff at the Oklahoma diocese's mission in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala. He served the native Mayans of the region, particularly the Tz'utujil people. While he served in Guatemala, a civil war raged between the militarist government forces and the guerrillas. For his safety and that of his associate, Father Rother returned home to Oklahoma. He didn’t stay long, though, as he was determined to give his life completely to his people, stating that “the shepherd cannot run.” Within a few months, three men entered the rectory around 1 a.m. on July 28, 1981, fought with Father Rother and then executed him. In 2007, his Cause for Canonization was opened. In June 2015, the Vatican in Rome voted to formally recognize Oklahoma’s Father Stanley Rother a martyr. The determination of martyrdom was a critical step in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City’s Cause to have Father Rother beatified: the final stage before canonization as a saint. He is the first martyr from the United States and the first U.S.-born priest to be beatified.
