The documentary “Monseñor The Last Journey of Oscar Romero” (in Spanish with English subtitles ) will be screened Monday (October 17) at 7:30 p.m. in Lyons Hall, Room 418. This event is free and open to the public.
An introduction and Q&A session will be led by Rev. Robert Pelton, CSC, project coordinator and theologian for this film as well as other projects of Latin American/North American Church Concerns (LANACC) of the Kellogg Institute for International Studies at the University of Notre Dame.
“Monseñor The Last Journey of Oscar Romero” is the first film about Romero that goes beyond the classic genre of a filmed biography to explore and probe the contemporary significance and legacy of his life and tragic death. This film on Romero places the Latin American campesinos at the center of the story. To learn more about Romero, click here.
This event was made possible through the cooperation and generous support of the offices of Campus Ministry, Mission & Identity, Community-Based Learning, the Canisius Jesuit Community, and the art history program in the Department of Fine Arts.
