Rafael Palacios

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fr. Rafael Palacios was a Roman Catholic priest in El Salvador who was assassinated in June 1979 in Suchitoto. He served under Archbishop Óscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdámez. His murder was characterized by Romero as part of a systematic persecution of the Catholic Church and oppression against efforts to reform a military dictatorship there to guarantee human rights for the poor masses.
