"To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often." ~ St. John Henry Newman,
We have a new patron saint!
This morning in Rome, Pope Francis declared Blessed John Henry Newman, the 19th-century British cardinal, a saint! Newman represents the best in Roman Catholic scholarship, which is the reason he is the patron of Catholic parishes on college campuses - like ours!
Saint John Henry Newman has been called the “absent Father of Vatican II” because his writings on conscience, Scripture, the vocation of lay people, the relation of Church and State, and other topics were extremely influential in the shaping of the Council’s documents. He was not always understood or appreciated when he was alive, however, he steadfastly persisted in the face of great adversity. He is a wonderful example for all of us!
Saint John Henry Newman Pray for Us!
Peace,
~ Jamie

"God has created me to do God some definite service. God has committed some work to me which God has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. God has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do God's work."
~ Saint John Henry Newman

Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church Can Show Welcome & Respect to the LGBTQ+ Community
Fr. James Martin, SJ
Thursday, November 7th
7:00PM - 8:30PM
Callahan Theater, Arts Center
Proclaimed a “Roman Catholic rock star” by Frank Bruni of The New York Times, James Martin, S.J. can be found on location with film director Martin Scorsese, serving as Stephen Colbert’s official chaplain, offering commentary on religion and spirituality for major media outlets, and tackling weighty matters as a member of the Vatican’s Secretariat for Communication. Editor-at-large of America magazine, he is also the author of many books, including New York Times bestsellers The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage, as well as frequent contributor to the likes of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Rev. Martin is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business, Loyola University Chicago, and the Weston Jesuit School of Theology. Martin’s latest book, Building a Bridge, is testimony to his pastoral commitment. He calls upon LGBTQ+ Catholics and church leaders to enter into dialogue for the sake of building a “relationship of respect,compassion, and sensitivity.” Despite strong pushback from some quarters of the Church, Martin shared with Bruni: “I’m at total peace. I really am. An ocean of hate online is really wiped out by just a few tears from an LGBT person.”
