Today, Saint Oscar Romero's legacy serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring impact of courage and compassion. His life inspires us to stand firm in the face of adversity and to champion the dignity of every human person.
Join us as we honor the memory of Saint Oscar Romero—a shepherd of the faithful, a defender of the oppressed, and a timeless symbol of hope in the struggle for justice.
