Rogelio Ponseele
Rogelio Ponseele is a Belgian-Salvadoran Roman Catholic priest known for his deep commitment to social justice and community support in El Salvador. He arrived in the country in 1970 and quickly aligned himself with marginalized communities, particularly during the Salvadoran Civil War, where he provided spiritual and practical support to those affected by the conflict. Ponseele has been an advocate for the poor and has worked closely with guerrilla-controlled areas, embodying the principles of the gospel in his activism. Recently, he made headlines after being hospitalized due to injuries sustained in a traffic accident on the Ruta de Paz, although his condition has since stabilized.
Born on May 22, 1939 (85 years old)
