"A Short Road to Perfection:
Saint John Henry's Practical Approach to Sanctity"
John Henry Newman, founder of the Birmingham Oratory, was one of the most significant theologians of the 19th century. Long after his death in 1890, his work significantly shaped Vatican II and continues to be an inspiration to Catholics and many other Christians everywhere.
On Sunday, October 13 in Rome Pope Francis will canonize Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman. In order to commemorate this important moment in the life of the universal Church, the Brooklyn Oratory will host a Solemn Vespers and reception for the Oratory’s newest saint.
*Mr. Edward Short is the author of Newman and History (2017), Newman and his Family (2013) and Newman and his Contemporaries (2011). -

RCIA: A Journey into the Catholic Christian Tradition
RCIA (the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) aims to support you on the journey of deepening faith and your quest for life's meaning. This opportunity is for anyone who may have questions about God or Jesus or Catholicism, and are looking for a setting in which to explore your questions. Maybe you were raised in a different faith tradition, or none at all, and want a deeper connection with what you find at the Oratory parishes. Perhaps you’re engaged to or married to a Catholic and want to learn more. You may be an adult Catholic who would like to prepare for Confirmation. All inquirers are welcome. We meet on Wednesday evenings starting October 2, 7:00 to 8:30 pm at the Oratory residence, 64 Middagh St. in Brooklyn Heights. For information, contact one of our priests, or Rob and Nadine at RCIA@oratorychurch.org or call us at 718-975-2096, ext. 16.
