Newman's Day


Great news: Pope Benedict XVI will beatify Cardinal Newman when he visits Great Britain in September.
With the Church’s formal announcement today of the beatification of John Henry Cardinal Newman, The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) announced a partnership with the Oratory founded by Newman in Birmingham, England, to promote Newman’s canonization and awareness of Newman’s legacy in the United States.

The partnership includes an American pilgrimage to England for Newman’s beatification, a U.S. prayer campaign for Newman’s canonization, and the appointment of the Oratory’s provost as a distinguished research fellow for CNS.

The Church confirmed this morning that Pope Benedict XVI will preside over Newman’s beatification in September in Birmingham.
