The Knights of Columbus and the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine join in the efforts to spread the gospel and make disciples. This Tepayac Hill and the images of Our Lady of Guadalupe and San Juan Diego will be a sacred place for all.
The shrine’s Tepeyac Hill will feature statues of Our Lady of Guadalupe and San Juan Diego. This hill will be a place for all to venerate Our Lady, San Juan Diego and Blessed Stanley Rother, and to ask for intersessions for deepened faith, conversion of heart, the unborn and the Americas.
"Just as St. Juan Diego found peace in the tender heart of Our Lady of Guadalupe, so too did the poor and marginalized encounter the love of God in the pastoral charity of Blessed Stanley Rother. TheTepeyac Hill project is a worthy endeavor, and it is fitting that Blessed Stanley Rother be memorialized at his shrine alongside Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Juan Diego." Daniel Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston
"Our Lady entrusted to St. Juan Diego her request to the Bishop of Mexico to have a chapel built at Tepeyac. The obedient response of Mary’s humble servant began the most significant chapter in the story of the evangelization of the Americas. The Tepeyac Hill at the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine will be a place of encounter and witness to the steadfast love of God and maternal concern of Our Lady for all her children. Like St. Juan Diego, Blessed Stanley responded to God’s call to place himself under Mary’s maternal care in service to the Gospel. May all who visit and support the Tepeyac Hill project experience her motherly care." Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, Archdiocese of Oklahoma City.
"The words of Mary to the servants at the wedding at Cana ring throughout the centuries: “do whatever he tells you.” St. Juan Diego and Bl. Stanley Rother model for us what that obedience to the Lord looks like in the world. The Tepeyac Hill at the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine will be a place of encounter for all who seek a more intimate life with Jesus in loving obedience. God bless all whose generosity makes this holy place a reality." Bishop David Konderla, Diocese of Tulsa
