The Year of Oscar Romero

The Year of Oscar Romero was launched by the Diocese in January to celebrate his centenary. There will be a monthly focus taken from quotations, values or virtues relevant to Oscar Romero and will be linked to the liturgical season or a charity, or an event on the global calendar. An Oscar Romero Prayer Bag will be taken home by a child from each class on Fridays to share with their families. This is an opportunity for children and their families to learn more about Oscar Romero and to pray together.
