2010 lecture - Fr Tommy Greenan
We were delighted to welcome Fr Tommy Greenan home to his native Edinburgh in June 2010 to deliver the 2010 annual Romero Lecture in memory of the murdered Archbishop of El Salvador, Oscar Romero. Fr Tommy is a priest of this Archdiocese, currently working in Central America.
He 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. Fr Tommy spoke about Romero’s commitment to life and his lecture can be heard here.
