Archbishop Romero Trust news


Bishop Patrick Lynch will celebrate a special Mass in Southwark Cathedral to mark the 99th birthday of Blessed Oscar Romero on Saturday 13 August at 12.30pm. It is the beginning of the centenary year celebrations which will continue through 2017. All are welcome.

Mass will be followed by refreshments in the nearby Amigo Hall and the showing of a rarely-seen Mexican film on Archbishop Romero's life (with subtitles) called 'El Cielo Abierto', meaning 'the open sky'.

Autumn Lecture Tour

An Archbishop Romero Memorial lecture tour has been organised for 31 October - 4 November. The title will be: 'RUTILIO, ROMERO AND POPE FRANCIS' and the speaker is Fr Rodolfo Cardenal SJ. Likely locations will be Plymouth, London, Durham, Glasgow and Preston.

Fr Cardenal is a Central American Jesuit and Director of the Monseñor Romero Centre at the UCA, the Jesuit University in El Salvador. He is a surviving colleague of the six Jesuit martyrs killed on the UCA campus in 1989 at the height of El Salvador's civil war. He is a historian and has written the biography of his Jesuit colleague, Fr Rutilio Grande, assassinated in March 1977 and now on the road to beatification. Rodolfo chairs the History Commission which is documenting Rutilio's story for the beatification cause.

Centenary Pilgrimage
