Rotarian Chuck Schroeder, headline at The Oklahoman
We now have a famous painter at Rotary #14! Artist Chuck Schroeder has painted people from all walks of life in his professional career and he recently added "future saint" to his artistic portfolio. Chuck was the front-page story at The Oklahoman Saturday Edition, click here, during the presentation of his oil painting of Blessed Stanley Rother to the late priest's home church this past Saturday in Okarche.Rother, an Okarche native, was a priest with the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City when he was killed by unknown assailants while serving a parish in Santiago Atitlan, Guatemala. He was proclaimed a martyr by Pope Francis in 2016 and he was beatified — the final step before sainthood — in an elaborate ceremony in 2017 in Oklahoma City.
Congratulations, Chuck!
