Invitation to celebrate the Feast of St Oscar Romero

February 13, 2026

Tuesday 24th March

The Caritas, Justice and Peace together with CAFOD, warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the Feast of St Oscar Romero on Tuesday 24th March 2026.


St Oscar Romero’s life and witness continue to inspire Christians across the world in the pursuit of justice, peace, and solidarity with those who are oppressed.


We are especially mindful of our responsibility to support parishioners and young people in discovering his story and understanding how his faith-led courage speaks powerfully to the challenges of the modern world.


To mark the feast day, Fr Michael Doyle will celebrate Mass at 12.45pm at Cardiff Cathedral.


Following the Mass, we are delighted that Clare Dixon, Co-Chair of the Romero Trust, will speak on the theme: “Romero: A Reason to Hope.”


This celebration will offer a meaningful opportunity to reflect on the life, faith, and legacy of St Oscar Romero, particularly his work for justice in Latin America and his enduring relevance today.


We are keen to welcome parishioners and young people from the secondary schools of the Archdiocese (Year 10 and above) to be part of the congregation. I have contacted the schools directly.


There will be a Q & A session afterwards in the Mostyn room with Clare Dixon, offering parishioners and students the chance to engage more deeply with Romero’s story and ask questions.

May is traditionally a Marian month , a special time to grow in faith through prayer with Mary.

We have received the following statement from Archbishop Mark , shared after the recent meeting of the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales in Rome. In solidarity with the Holy Father, the Bishops invite all people of goodwill to renew their commitment to peace and justice, and they ask Catholics in particular to redouble their prayers for those affected by conflict across the world. Rooted in the hope of Easter, this message reminds us of our shared Christian responsibility to be peacemakers and bridge‑builders. We are encouraged to read the statement prayerfully and to join with the Bishops and the wider Church in praying for an enduring peace founded on justice, dialogue and fraternity.  The full statement and the Prayer for Peace of Pope St John XXIII are shared below.
