“Nearly 30 years ago…Romero challenged all in the Church to be totally immersed in the lives of the poor.”

Deysi asks “Who in El Salvador today are the poorest of God’s poor if not individuals and families living with HIV and AIDS?”

“After Archbishop Romero’s death we were afraid to speak out Credit: CA/Marg Fyfe because we saw so many people lose their lives and disappear.”

“However his death has sown a seed in the heart of many Salvadorans. Our challenge today is to continue to work to alleviate the suffering and oppression” says Deysi.

2005 marked the 25 th Anniversary of Romero’s death.
