 OKLAHOMA CITY (KOKH) — Archbishop Paul Coakley announced The Boldt Company will serve as construction manager for the building of the Blessed Stanley Rother Shrine on Monday.

The shrine will be the final resting place for the Okarche, Oklahoma, native.

“It is exciting to take the next step toward building this beautiful shrine in honor of a courageous priest from Oklahoma,” Coakley said in a release. “I would like to thank the members of the Rother building committee for the many hours of work that lead to the important selection of a contractor, and I welcome Boldt as a new partner in this inspiring project."

The shrine will be built on a former golf course at S.E. 89 between Shields Boulevard and Interstate-35.

The Boldt Company will collaborate with design architects Franck and Lohsen, as well as project architects ADG of Oklahoma City.

The project is expected to break ground in early 2020 and completed by summer 2022, according to a release.

The shrine will feature a 2,000-seat church, 200-seat chapel, museum and pilgrim center.
