Oscar A. Romero

Oscar A. Romero was the Archbishop of San Salvador, known for his outspoken defense of human rights and social justice in El Salvador during the late 20th century. He became a martyr for his commitment to the poor and oppressed, ultimately being assassinated on March 24, 1980, while celebrating Mass. His legacy continues to inspire movements for justice and liberation, and he was canonized by Pope Francis in 2018, recognized as a beacon of hope against oppression.
