SUMMARY:Saint Óscar Romero Commemoration Event
DESCRIPTION:      \nOscar Romero Commemoration Event\nSunday\, April 7\, from 3:30 to 6:00pm\nInga Bookstore (Pilsen neighborhood)\n1740 W. 18th St.\, Chicago\, IL 60608 \nJoin us on Sunday\, April 7th\, at 3:30pm as we come together to honor the life and legacy of Saint Oscar Romero. CRLN is delighted to partner with the Alma de Izote collective (Yuca Flower) for a special commemorative event dedicated to celebrating Saint Oscar Romero’s profound impact. His enduring influence holds special significance for CRLN\, evident in his portrayal within our logo. Romero’s dedication to justice serves as a guiding light for our own efforts. \nThis year is the 44th anniversary of his martyrdom. We would not be CRLN if we didn’t remind you that he was killed during the war in El Salvador in 1980s which was backed and funded the infamous death squads. To his legacy we say ¡San Romero Vive! ¡Presente! \nAlma de Izote is a newly formed solidarity group comprising individuals from the El Salvador community and allies\, united in their commitment to fostering social\, cultural\, and political education and dialogue within the Chicago community. \nThe event will feature a screening of the documentary “Monseñor: The Last Journey of Oscar Romero\,” followed by an insightful discussion and commentary led by esteemed Human Rights Defender from El Salvador\, Neris Gonzales\, Reverend Dan Dale\, and other speakers. Additionally\, we will have the opportunity to enjoy food from El Salvador while enjoying live music. \nWe warmly invite you to join us for this meaningful occasion as we pay tribute to Saint Oscar Romero and his enduring legacy of justice and liberation. We look forward to sharing this experience with you. \n“When all avenues of dialogue\, understanding and rationality are closed\, the Church speaks of the legitimate right to insurrectionary violence.” \n“And if they kill me\, I will be resurrected in the Salvadoran people.” \n– Óscar Arnulfo Romero
