JUBILEE YEAR for the CENTENNIAL of BLESSED
ROMERO, 2016 — 2017

| This is the admission ticket for the Oct. 14 canonization ceremony. |
[Updated: please consult more recent calendar.] The
Salvadoran Church has published a list of various activities to be carried out
in Rome in the days when Archbishop Oscar Romero will be canonized as the first
Salvadoran saint (Sunday, October 14, 2018). Some of the activities will be open to the public, and the
organizers will provide buses to take the pilgrims to the places where they will
be held. Other events will require an invite for admission, due to limited
availability.
Update: The most significant event, announced a day after the rest of the agenda, is a special audience that Pope Francis will grant to the delegation of Salvadorans who will travel to Rome for Romero’s canonization. It will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Monday, October 15 in the Paul VI Audience Hall next to St. Peter’s Square. This audience will be a much more intimate encounter with the Pontiff than the thronged canonization Mass and it is likely that Francis may have some memorable words, as he did in a similar encounter after the beatification in 2015.
Among the other standout
details, we learn that the Mass of Thanksgiving for the new saint will be celebrated—as
anticipated from the outset—in the church of the Sant Egidio movement, with
which the postulator of the cause, Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, is affiliated,
and not the Jesuit church in Rome, il
Gesù. That Mass will be celebrated on the Monday after the canonization,
presumably by Abp. Paglia, and on the Saturday before the canonization there
will be another Mass, sponsored by Caritas, of whom Romero is patron saint,
celebrated by the Philippine Cardinal Luis Tagle.
Other
religious activities include Holy Rosaries and vigils, while additional events
include cultural activities: the documentary “Il Risarcimento,” the musical theater work “Romero the Musical,” folk dances, and other events. The placement
of a Romero statue in the Eternal City caps a project that has been years in
the making.
