Archbishop Oscar Romero

Archbishop Oscar Romero was a prominent Catholic leader from El Salvador, known for speaking out against social injustice, poverty, and violence. As a spiritual leader, he advocated for the rights of the poor and oppressed during a time of political turmoil. His courageous public stance often put him at odds with government forces, leading to his assassination in 1980 while celebrating Mass. Romero is remembered as a martyr and a symbol of faith-driven activism, inspiring efforts for social justice and human rights worldwide. In 2018, he was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church.
