Is there a saint for El Salvador?

Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez (1917–1980), the bishop of San Salvador, is an important figure that many would consider a "saint" of El Salvador. He is famous for his outspoken criticism of the Salvadoran government and military for their repression of the country's large, mostly poor, indigenous population, and for his assassination by a right-wing paramilitary squad on 24 March 1980.

While he has not been formally canonized by the Roman Catholic Church, he has been beatified by Pope Francis, which is the final step before sainthood. Romero's beatification ceremony took place on 23 May 2015 in San Salvador.
