Thank you for visiting the website of the Archbishop Romero Trust, a comprehensive resource of materials on the life, martyrdom and canonisation of Archbishop Oscar Romero and his ongoing impact on the Church and the world.

Resources on the site have been gathered over many years and include original material from Archbishop Romero himself, as well as talks, lectures, homilies, films, meditations, etc presented by others about his life and legacy.

From Archbishop Romero himself we have the Spanish and English text of his diary and the powerful and moving audio recordings he made while dictating them. We have most of his remarkable homilies preached in the cathedral and other churches and broadcast in El Salvador from 1977 to 1980, many with original audio and all with the Spanish text and an English translation. You will also find his Pastoral Letters written as bishop to his diocese.

Among the other material on the site you will find a collection of our 'Romero Lectures' given over many years throughout the UK by guests and friends of the Archbishop Romero Trust. There are homilies preached in various places on the anniversary and Feast Day of St Oscar Romero, March 24th, there are poems and songs reflecting his life and influence as well as prayers, liturgies and reflections inspired by him. There are a number of DVD films and documentaries on his life and on the life of other martyrs of El Salvador, a gallery of photographs of Romero and much else besides.

In addition, you can learn more about the Romero Trust, read our Annual Reports, current and previous editions of our magazine 'Romero News' and keep up to date with what we are currently involved in or planning for the future through our news page.

As an archive resource we are always looking to expand our library and would welcome any material you have that you think may be of interest. Use the contact page to get in touch.

Please consider becoming a Friend of Romero to support the work of the Trust and please donate if you can to allow us to maintain and develop the legacy and memory of Oscar Romero.

Thank you again for visiting - to get you started you may like to watch our short animation below on the life of Archbishop  Oscar Romero, illustrated by the Salvadoran artist Fernando Llort, creator of our Romero Cross, copies of which are available for sale on our shop page.
