Tulsa Fundraiser

On July 23 and 24, we hosted our annual Tulsa BBQ and Golf Tournament. We had a wonderful time celebrating the Mission's work. Thanks to the generosity of our friends in Oklahoma, we surpassed our fundraising goal.

Blessed Stanley Rother

Blessed Stanley Rother was born in March of 1935 in Oklahoma as the oldest child to parents Franz and Gertrude. He grew up on his family farm with his parents and his four siblings. As a young adult, he decided to become a priest. After serving as an associate parish priest for five years, Fr. Rother decided to volunteer to serve as a priest in Guatemala. He drove 2,000 miles from his home in Oklahoma to his new parish to serve the Tz'utujil people in Santiago Atitlán.

Maya Textiles: A History

The Maya people have been weaving textiles for use in clothing for thousands of years. Today different towns and communities are known for their own patterns and motifs.

However, Maya people are challenging the idea that these different patterns are a result of colonization. They know that these regional variations have been around long before any contact by the Spanish.
