2010 Romero Lecture

Two Jesuit centres in Scotland will host the 2010 Romero Lecture this summer.  The annual presentation in memory of the murdered Archbishop of El Salvador, Oscar Romero, will be delivered this year by Fr Thomas Greenan, a priest of the Edinburgh Diocese, currently working in Central America.

Fr 'Tommy' Greenan spent many years as a missionary priest in El Salvador before moving to neighbouring Guatemala; he is now living and working in the remote Petén area of the country.  He has researched and written a major study which compares and contrasts the lives of Saint John Chrysostom in the 4th Century and Archbishop Romero in our own times.

The 2010 series of lectures starts in Edinburgh on 22 June, when Cardinal Keith O'Brien will be attending the event at the Lauriston Jesuit Centre, next to Sacred Heart Church.  The following evening, Fr Greenan will move on to Glasgow, where he will deliver the Romero Lecture at the Ogilvie Centre in Rose Street, next to St Aloysius Church.  He will then speak at Liverpool Hope University (25 June), St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square, London (27 June) and the Cathedral Hall in Leeds (2 July).  All the lectures start at 7.30pm and entry is free.
