Newman’s American Legacy

Fr. Joshua — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:01:32 +0000

In a prior posting, Fr. Drew Morgan, provost of the Pittsburgh Oratory of St. Philip Neri and past university chaplain, detailed the development of Catholic campus ministry on non-Catholic university campuses in the United States. In the second part of that interview, he details the traditional and future relationship and impact of the Newman Center to and on the local and universal Church. Thoughts and comments may be directed to Fr. Morgan at info [ at ] pittsburghoratory.org.

Newman and the American Universities

Fr. Joshua — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 17:40:10 +0000

Cardinal Newman is in the news these days as Pope Benedict’s visit to England for his beatification draws near. His name is rather well-known in the US too, in connection with Newman Clubs and Newman Centers maintained at hundreds of non-Catholic colleges and universities around the country. To explain this apparently obscure connection, Fr. Drew Morgan, provost of the Pittsburgh Oratory of St. Philip Neri and former university chaplain, answers questions about the history of Newman Centers.

36th Annual March for Life

Fr. Joshua — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 22:32:27 +0000

The March for Life is on Thursday, January 22 in Washington D.C. This marks the 36th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision that made abortion legal without restrictions for all 50 states. For those that are not familiar with the march, it has happened every year since Roe v. Wade and has been heavily attended. We hope to have record setting numbers this year to meet President Obama one day after his inauguration and witness to America’s concern for her youngest, most innocent and most vulnerable. For more information, contact P.J. Gruber at pitt.pro.life@gmail.com.
