About The Author
St John Henry Newman
St. John Henry Newman was born in London on 21st February 1801. His family were members of the Church of England but without any strong religious commitment. In 1817 when he was sixteen he entered Trinity College, Oxford as an undergraduate. Five years later he was elected to a Fellowship at Oriel College. He was ordained as an Anglican clergyman. After leaving Oxford, for three years he lived a quasi-monastic life, praying for guidance. On 9th October, 1845, he was received into the Roman Catholic Church by Fr. Dominic Barberi. During his old age he continued quietly in the Birmingham Oratory which he had founded, devoting his time to preaching, writing, and spiritual direction. In 1879 when Fr. Newman was seventy eight, Pope Leo XIII made him a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, as a tribute to his outstanding erudition and piety. He died in the Birmingham Oratory of pneumonia on the 11th of August 1890. Pope Francis canonized him on October 13, 2019.
