| Above is the banner that lead our march to celebrate Mass in memory of Monsignor Romero's assassination on March 24, 1980. It quotes one of Romero's homilies, saying "Enough suffering for the village." |

 |
| We chanted slogans emphasizing Catholic values as those of peace, justice, and options for the poor. People held banners picturing those who were killed during the civil war for speaking out against injustices. Others carried signs with quotes from Romero's homilies. |
 |
| We marched down a main street in San Salvador for an hour and a half before arriving at La Plaza Libertad, where we celebrated Mass. |
 |
| After the sun set, thousands lit candles and processed together. It was beautifully powerful to witness little candles as far as the eye could see. People traveled from many Latin American countries to participate. Bus loads of people from all over El Salvador attended. There was an especially large amount of people from rural areas present to celebrate Romero's life. |

| Currin, Peggy, Gilda, and I ventured to the vigil together. |
