Take part in a thought-provoking evening at Edinburgh’s Jesuit Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, where a relic of Saint Oscar Romero is safely held.

Together, by celebrating his work, beliefs, and courage, we can keep his legacy alive.

Archbishop St Oscar Romero, the outspoken advocate for justice and non-violence in his native El Salvador, has long inspired Christians around the whole world.

On March 24, 1980, he was murdered - shot by an assassin while celebrating Mass, the day after he had appealed to the state’s military to stop their brutal repression of the poor.

This Romero Lecture is hosted by Edinburgh Jesuit Church, SCIAF, Justice and Peace Scotland, Pax Christi, The Romero Trust, and Independent Catholic News.

Bishop Kenneth Nowakowski, of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, will invite us to consider 'Romero and Ukraine: Reslience in the Face of Injustice'.

Refreshments will be served afterwards. All welcome!

The event is free but all attendees must book in advance here.
