Thanksgiving for the Canonisation of Oscar Romero

On Saturday 13 October, Bishop Séamus celebrated Mass at the Cathedral in Thanksgiving for the Canonisation of the Blessed Oscar Romero.

Assassinated while celebrating Mass in El Salvador on 24 March 1980, Archbishop Oscar Romero was known as a defender of the poor and campaigner for peace.

Pope Francis led a ceremony to elevate Romero, and six others including Pope Paul VI, to sainthood in Saint Peter's Square on Sunday.
