Oscar Romero ecumenical service

Archbishop Oscar Romero

Witness to Radical Compassion - An ecumenical service to mark the 32nd anniversary of the martyrdom of Archbishop Oscar Romero will take place at St Martin-in-the-Fields, Trafalgar Square, London at 11am today, 24 March.

The Officiant will be The Revd Clare Herbert. The Rt Revd Peter Price, Bishop of Bath and Wells will be preaching.

Oscar Romero was a priest and bishop in El Salvador. His love for his people who were suffering violence and oppression led him to take their side and to denounce their oppressors. He was killed while saying Mass, on 24 March 1980. Many events and service are taking place throughout Archbishop Oscar Romero Week, to remember him.
