Added to the list in July, after the ceremony had already been announced, is a teenager, Blessed Nunzio Sulprizio, who died in Naples in 1836 at the age of 19 after a life of pain and suffering. This high church ceremony takes place during the one-month synod of bishops in the Vatican, which has brought together more than 200 bishops, including some 50 cardinals and about 40 young people to talk about youth, faith and the vocations.



Sulprizio was beatified, the first step towards holiness, by Pope Paul VI in 1963, and both will become saints in the same ceremony.

But the focus of many attendees at the ceremony will be on Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, who was assassinated in March 1980 while celebrating a mass in his church. No one was ever convicted of the crime, but solid evidence indicates that he was killed by a right-wing death squad.



Romero is already venerated as a saint and a hero by Catholics in the Americas and throughout the world.



A large crowd of approximately 7,000 Salvadorans have come to the Vatican for the vigil ceremony on Saturday night and the canonization ceremony on Sunday. Celebrations are also planned in El Salvador and in other cities around the world, especially in Los Angeles, which has the largest Salvadoran community outside the country.

Romero is considered a hero of the church of the poor when he spoke against social injustice and violence during a moment of deep commotion and divisions in his country. A crowd of more than 100,000 people attended Romero's funeral as the military fired into the crowd, killing dozens of mourners.



Romero's cause of holiness, which began in 1997, had been blocked for years during the popes of popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI by the Roman curia and the South American cardinals for political and theological reasons.



Francis, the first Pope of the Americas, formally decreed in 2015 that Romero had been assassinated as a martyr and Romero was beatified in San Salvador in May of that year. Recognizing Romero as a saintly martyr will likely lead to the canonization of other murdered Latin American bishops, including Enrique Angelelli, who was assassinated in 1976 during Argentina's military dictatorship.

Both Pope Paul and Romero are very significant figures for the current Pontiff and Pope Paul VI was the Pope during the life of Romero. He was also Pope during Francis's youth and that of many of the older bishops and cardinals gathered in the Vatican for the synod.



Pope Paul VI is remembered mainly as the Pope who closed the Second Vatican Council in 1965, followed by the reforms of the Catholic Church and his encyclical Humanae Vitae, published in 1968, which defined the Catholic position on natality control. He was also known for his attention to the church in Latin America and for his focus on helping the poor.
