In reflecting on the canonization of St. Óscar Romero, I had an opportunity to read the last homily he delivered in the moments before he was killed.¹  St. Óscar was an outspoken critic of the civil war in El Salvador and a champion of those who suffered in that conflict during his three years as Archbishop of San Salvador, until his murder in 1980.  

Last week we had our Parish Picnic–and it was a glorious day for our faith community.  Our special guests at Mass were the family of refugees that we and St. Agnes Parish are accompanying as they make their way through the legal system’s process for asylum in the U.S.  The mother thanked us for the difference we are making in their lives through our emotional and practical support.
