Event Description:

In El Salvador in the late 1970's, Archbishop Óscar Romero was a voice of the poor and the disappeared. In this workshop, we will learn about his internal and external struggles to be a true pastor and to accompany the Salvadoran people in the struggle for justice. We will reflect on the meaning his life can have for us, and how his journey can inspire and challenge us today.

The day will include:

• Screening of the new film, Monseñor, The Last Journey of Óscar Romero, which features rare footage of Romero and interviews with those who were directly impacted by his life and work. (click here to view a study guide for the film)
• Presentations about Romero and his legacy by leading Romero scholar Rev. Robert Pelton, CSC; Professor Margaret Pfeil, and Sociologist Victor Maqque. (Click here for speaker bios)
• Group discussion and reflection
• Lunch
