9:30pm A’PLAS: THE STORY OF FATHER ROTHER -- The story of a missionary priest from Oklahoma who was martyred in Guatemala in 1981. When native Oklahoman Father Stanley Rother arrived as a missionary to Guatemala, he sought to improve the living conditions of the people of Santiago Atitlan. As political unrest formed in the late '70s, Rother's work was challenged by the appearance of conflict between armed guerrilla forces and military forces. Anyone organizing with the people drew suspicion from the government and were thought to be involved with the Guerrilla, and community leaders were often targets of kidnappings or murders. In 1981, when Father Rother was murdered, it left many parishioners and projects without a leader. He is remembered as a local hero in his hometown of Okarche, Oklahoma and in Santiago Atitlan. Rother will soon likely be remembered by the world as saint. (This program can be seen regularly on OKLA and can be ordered through Amazon.)
