Together, we will walk through the Scriptures, the lives of the saints, the mystery of suffering, and the Church’s witness across the ages. The winter season will focus on five Americans who are at different stages of the Church’s process of canonization, whose lives show us that sanctity is possible even in our own time and place.
Fr. Francis Belanger, O.P., will share the story of Blessed Stanley Rother, the first American-born priest to be officially recognized as a martyr. Ordained in Oklahoma, Blessed Stanley gave his life in missionary service to the Church in Guatemala, where he was killed in 1981.
