OKLAHOMA CITY – The Shrine Saints Society, which began in February 2025 is an exclusive group of resolute supporters committed to preserving and enhancing the shrine and its need for funding. These donors play a crucial role in maintaining the historic beauty of the shrine and enhancing the spiritual and cultural experiences for visitors and pilgrims from all walks of life.
"With the generous contributions of 90 steadfast members, we have raised a total of nearly $400,000 in funding," said Christi Jeffreys, director of development for the shrine. "This remarkable support is a profound testament to the community's dedication to sustaining the needs of the Rother Shrine.”
"I am proud as a Rother and as an Oklahoma Catholic to be a member of the Shrine Saints Society to support the shrine and advance the cause of Blessed Stanley Rother. I love the excitement the shrine has created in our community. It is a beautiful place to give glory to God and learn about the story of Blessed Stan," said Sue Rother Bond.
