Óscar Romero (August 15, 1917 – March 24, 1980) was the Archbishop of San Salvador and a courageous voice for the poor and oppressed in El Salvador. Amid rising violence and injustice, he spoke out against human rights abuses and defended the dignity of the vulnerable. He was assassinated while celebrating Mass, ultimately giving his life as a martyr for justice. He was later canonized as a saint, and his legacy continues to inspire people around the world.
