The casket containing the body of Blessed Stanley Rother was moved on Feb. 12, 2023, from the chapel at Ressurection Cemetery in Oklahoma City to the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in preparation of being moved to the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine Chapel. The casket was positioned in the cathedral for public veneration after Vespers.
