March 24 this year marks 32 years since the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero in El Salvador. In memory of this anniversary please find here an exerpt from one of Romero's most famous sermons.
Please remember that one way to honor Romero's memory is to sponsor a University of Scranton Romero SEED for El Salvador (Scholarships to Establish Educational Development). The University of Scranton initiated these scholarships in 2003 to enable extremely impoverished youth to attend grade school, high school and college. All the funds go directly to help the youth in the village of Las Delicias which many of us have come to know personally through trips to El Salvador.

Our first college graduate last year was José María Ortiz who is employed now as an accountant. Our next college graduate Albidia, a biology major, has a temporary setback with breast cancer but she hopes to graduate within a year. SEED is working to give these youth hope but we need your support. Please join me in sponsoring a student during the month of March.
Please give whatever you can. It will be doubled during the month of March.
Thank you,
