Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Jesuit Martyrs

Sunday, November 15 • 2 to 5pm

8th Floor, 89 Market Street in Downtown Newark, NJ

On November 16, 1989 a US-trained commando unit burst into the Jesuit residence at the University of Central America (UCA) in San Salvador. They killed the six Jesuit priests there at the time, along with their cook and her daughter. More than 75,000 people died during El Salvador’s civil war, mostly civilians killed by Salvadoran armed forces and right-wing death squads. The UCA killings sparked an international outcry, shifted opinions in the US Congress, and helped lead to the peace process that brought the civil war to an end. Please join us to commemorate their lives and to hear about the “unfinished tasks to which the Jesuits were committed — efforts to reduce poverty and hunger and to promote educational opportunity, human rights, the rule of law and social equity for the people of El Salvador.” (see WOLA, www.wola.org)
