SUMMARY:Stanley Rother Shrine and Royal Bavaria Restaurant
DESCRIPTION:Senior Ministry Invites all Seniors to a Tour and Dinner  \nTour the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine and then dine at the Royal Bavaria German Restaurant on April 13\, 2026.  We will leave MRCC 3:00pm. \nWe can accommodate up to 30 participants to attend these events and transportation will be provided. \nAdmission to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine is FREE. \nBlessed Stanley Rother Shrine Tour\nThe cause for the canonization of Father Stanley Rother began in 2007. In June 2015\, the Vatican formally recognized him as a martyr\, an important step toward beatification and eventual canonization. On December 1\, 2016\, Pope Francis officially declared Father Rother a martyr for the faith. He became the first martyr from the United States and the first U.S.-born priest to be beatified. His Rite of Beatification took place on September 23\, 2017\, in downtown Oklahoma City and was attended by more than 20\,000 people from around the world. \nThe Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine now stands as a symbol of faith and the Catholic Church’s presence in Oklahoma. It serves as a pilgrimage site for visitors from across Oklahoma\, the United States\, and beyond. The shrine church is designed in a Spanish mission style to resemble Saint James the Apostle Catholic Church in Santiago Atitlán\, Guatemala\, where Father Rother served as a missionary. \nThe shrine also includes a 6\,000-square-foot pilgrim center containing a museum and gift shop. The museum tells the story of Blessed Stanley Rother’s life and mission\, displaying artifacts from different stages of his life and explaining his martyrdom and beatification\, with hopes of one day documenting his canonization as well. \nDine at Royal Bavaria Restaurant\nRoyal Bavaria was founded November 20th\, 1992 by Jörg Kühne\, a businessman from Munich\, Germany. \nHis idea was to bring a Bavarian brew pub to Oklahoma with an authentic atmosphere\, true Bavarian hospitality and the typical German cuisine\, which has found so many friends all over the world. \nA 5.5 acre property was located very quickly\, and soon the project was approved by the City of Moore.  In the southeast corner of Moore on highway 77/Sooner Road\, the groundbreaking took place in August 1993.  After the customary 5 week time had passed\, according to an old custom\, the topping out ceremony took place. \nRSVP to tom.conklin@mrcc.org by April 6th.
