The Archbishop Romero Trust (ART) was publicly launched in January 2007 to raise awareness and celebrate the life and work of Oscar Romero and to support social justice initiatives in Latin America that carry forward the tradition of his work.

The objective 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 organizes memorial liturgies each year around March 24^th, Romero Day; it also organizes an annual Archbishop Romero Lecture, provides materials for local Romero events and produces a twice-yearly newsletter, ‘Romero News’. The ‘Friends of Romero’ is a network of solidarity set up by the Trust to further this work and to involve and include others.

The Patrons of the Trust are:

Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor - Archbishop Emeritus of Westminster
The Archbishop of Canterbury - Most Reverend Rowan Williams
Cardinal Keith O'Brien - Archbishop of Edinburgh
The Archbishop of York - Most Reverend John Sentamu
The Archbishop of Dublin - Most Reverend Diarmuid Martin
