We honor Archbishop Oscar Romero on the 45th anniversary of his martyrdom, remembering him not just as a champion of human rights but also as the Patron of SIGNIS, the World Catholic Association for Communication.
Romero understood the transformative power of communication as a tool for justice, hope, and human dignity. As Patron of SIGNIS, his legacy continues to inspire communicators worldwide to use media as a force for social change, truth, and compassion.
His prophetic words still echo: “A church that does not provoke any crisis, a gospel that does not unsettle, a word of God that does not disturb — what kind of gospel is it?” Romero showed us that communication is not just about transmitting information but about creating understanding, challenging injustice, and amplifying the voices of the marginalized.
Remembering Saint Oscar Romero: Patron of SIGNIS, Defender of the Voiceless, Champion of Human Dignity
