Saint John Henry Newman

Berkeley, Friday, September 26, 2025 1:59 Pm

John Henry Newman is a Doctor of the Church.

He lived or was related to the Saint Philip Neri Oratory in Birmingham, England. John Ronal Reuel Tolkien used to live there.

I would need to learn more about Cardinal Newman live. I know he lived in the late 1800s, plus some of the facts given above.

I would need to write a novena. It is late now. This might be a starting point in the process.

Starting day: September 30, which is next Tuesday.

Ending date. October 8.

Saint Newman feast is on October 9.

I am feeling a bit disconnected, and so many books to read. But I also need to write. And to create a poster for soon.

I would need to decide to read starting near those days, either Apologia or The Idea of a University. Both of those works were written by him.

Saint Newman, Doctor of the Church. Pray for Us.

Thos two novenas look good:
