Mons. Romero

Mons. Óscar Romero, known as the 'Saint of America', was the Archbishop of San Salvador from 1977 until his assassination in 1980. A passionate advocate for the poor and marginalized, he spoke out against social injustice and human rights violations during El Salvador's civil conflict. His commitment to social justice and his vocal opposition to the violence inflicted upon the vulnerable earned him a significant following and made him a target for oppressive regimes. Romero was canonized as a saint by Pope Francis in 2018, and his legacy continues to inspire those who fight for justice and peace.
