Pope Approves Oratorian John Henry Newman’s Beatification
Jul 3rd, 2009 by Fr. Joshua
Newman to become Blessed
The Pittsburgh Oratory rejoices with all of St. Philip’s Oratories around the world – especially those of Birmingham, London, and Oxford – and with all those who have prayed, longed, and waited, at the announcement today from the Holy See, that the Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman, by approval of Pope Benedict XVI, will be proclaimed “Blessed” at a date to be announced.
Please continue to pray for a fitting and beautiful conclusion to this process, for the Cardinal’s future canonization, and for the continued conversion of hearts through his intercession.
