We are deeply grateful to Archbishop Paul Coakley and the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City for entrusting us with the first-class relic of Blessed Stanley Rother, which is now on display inside the Cathedral. 
Praying with a relic is a meaningful way to seek the intercession and heavenly favors of a blessed individual or saint. Through this practice, we nurture devotion to Blessed Stanley and encourage public veneration.
