CJA Remembers Fr. Dean Brackley

CJA mourns the passing of Father Dean Brackley who left this world on Sunday, October 16th surrounded by his Central American family in El Salvador after a struggle with pancreatic cancer. Fr. Dean arrived to El Salvador when he volunteered to join the staff at the Central American University the year after the assassination of his fellow Jesuit priests in order to continue their important work. He spent more than 20 years serving and supporting the poor in El Salvador. Father Dean also believed in the importance of accountability for the massacre and worked closely with CJA on the development of the Jesuits Massacre Case in Spain.
