About the Trust

The objectives of the Trust are:

  • To promote knowledge and awareness of the life and work of Archbishop Romero.
  • To encourage and organise prayer services and memorial liturgies annually on the anniversary of his death.
  • To provide support to human rights and social justice initiatives in Latin America which carry forward the tradition of his work.

The Trust organises memorial liturgies each year around March 24th, Romero Day; it also organises an annual Archbishop Romero Lecture, provides materials for local Romero events and produces a twice-yearly newsletter, ‘Romero News’.
