Óscar Romero was formally declared a martyr by Pope Francis in February
2015 and was canonized a saint on October 14, 2018 alongside Pope Paul VI.
His
feast day is March 24.
This prayer service will be led by St. Mary’s University
student prayer leaders in Guadalupe Chapel and will include reflective music and a dramatic
interpretation of one of many homilies by Romero.
The service will include a
tribute to four U.S. women religious martyrs who were murdered by the El
Salvador National Guard nine months after the assassination of Romero (Jose de
Leon).
