| Yes, There is still time and space available! Cardinal Newman will be beatified by His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI on Sept. 19, 2010! You can be there. The "In the footsteps of Cardinal Newman" pilgrimage shall leave from Newark airport on the evening of September 14 and return on September 20. Upon arrival in England, we shall spend two days visiting historic sites in London, especially those relating to English Catholicism and Newman. We shall celebrate Holy Mass one evening at Westminster Cathedral (where their magnificent boys’ choir school enhances the Sacred Liturgy every day), with another Mass at Tyburn Convent (where hundreds of Catholics shed their blood for the Faith during the Protestant persecution). From London, we shall proceed to Oxford (where Newman taught and from where he led the so-called “Oxford Movement,” which sought to “re-Catholicize” Anglicanism) and Littlemore (where he established a quasi-monastic Anglican community and where he was received into the Church by Blessed Dominic Barberi). And then on to Birmingham, the place where he founded the first English Oratory and where his remains are enshrined. At Coventry, the Holy Father will beatify Cardinal Newman! |
