SUMMARY:St. John Henry Newman Feast Day Mass
DESCRIPTION:Join The Newman Association of Vancouver as we celebrate the Feast of St. John Henry Newman\, the newest Doctor of the Church. Mass will be presided by our chaplain\, Fr. Rob Allore\, SJ. at St. Mark’s Parish on the UBC campus. Everyone is welcome\, and a special invite to students\, teachers and faculty! \nSt. John Henry Newman was born in London in 1801\, and was an Anglican clergyman for twenty years and Fellow of Oriel College\, Oxford. His studies of the early Church led him progressively towards Catholicism\, and in 1845 he embraced “the one true fold of the Redeemer”. In 1847 he was ordained priest and went on to found the Oratory of St Philip Neri in England. He was a prolific and influential writer on a variety of subjects. In 1879 he was created Cardinal by Pope Leo XIII. Praised for his humility\, unstinting care of souls and contributions to the intellectual life of the Church\, he died in Birmingham on 11 August 1890.
