Our first American Martyr



Blessed Fr. Stanley Rothor

Priest of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City

Martyred in Guatemala

July 28, 1981


O God, fount of all holiness, 
make us walk worthily in our vocation, 
through the intercession of your Saints,
on whom you bestowed
a great variety of graces upon earth.
Having graced your Church
with the life and ministry
of your missionary priest
Stanley Rothor,
by his intercession
grant that this humble flock may reach
where the brave Shepherd has gone. 
Grant that your Church may proclaim
him a Saint
Serving in your presence
and interceding for us.
Through Christ our Lord. 
Amen
