San Romero de América
Archbishop Óscar Romero, known as 'San Romero de América,' was a prominent Salvadoran religious leader and advocate for human rights during a time of political turmoil in El Salvador. He became the voice of the voiceless, championing the rights of the oppressed and speaking out against the violence and injustices faced by the poor and marginalized. His powerful sermons and unwavering commitment to social justice made him a target for the oppressive regime, and he was assassinated in 1980 while celebrating Mass. Romero's legacy continues to inspire movements for peace, justice, and human dignity across Latin America and beyond.
