Together with the Archbishop Romero Trust, we have published a commentary on the teachings of Blessed Oscar Romero by Fr Thomas Greenan.
Blessed Oscar Romero is a shining example of someone driven to fight poverty and injustice in the world, to the point of sacrificing his own life. He has been a huge inspiration to SCIAF and the global Caritas family for many years. He is a part of our history, and inspires us to walk with, hear, and care for the poor.
Oscar Romero was the Archbishop of San Salvador in El Salvador who was assassinated in 1980 for standing up for the rights of the poor during a time of great unrest in the country. His selfless dedication to the service of the poor and vulnerable, and his demands for justice in the face of the powerful, are a constant inspiration to SCIAF. Blessed Oscar Romero is a patron of the charity.
