We have received news that Dean Brackley, SJ, a great apostle of social justice, and a Jesuit who volunteered to work at the University of Central America in El Salvador after the martyrdom of the Jesuits there in 1989, has died after a battle with cancer.  More will be written about this remarkable man later.  Dean will be buried in El Salvador with the people he served.  He was a great Jesuit hero.  May he rest in peace.

 

The Rev. James Martin, S.J., is a Jesuit priest, author, editor at large at America and founder of Outreach.
