From farm life in small-town Okarche to beatification in the Catholic church, the martyr Blessed Stanley Rother lived a fascinating life dedicated to helping others. Miguel Mireles, executive director of the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine in south Oklahoma City, joins the podcast as this week's featured guest. Editor-in-chief Nathan Gunter talks with Mireles about Rother's amazing life journey, his work in Guatemala, and why the church and pilgrimage center is a destination for all, not just Catholics.
Also on this episode, the editors share which language they wish they could instantly learn, and podvents once again plumb the depths of the event calendar for select gems. We hope you enjoy!
