At Catholic Campus Ministry we have three buildings: St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel, the Marquette Student Center and the Newman Center. The Newman Center was named after Bl. John Henry Newman, a former Anglican who converted to Catholicism. All over the country there are campus ministries bearing the name of Bl. John Newman. The Holy Father just recently beatified Cardinal Newman when he was in England in September. As a result, interest in Bl. John Newman has gone up and I recently learned about a new film being produced about his life. Here is some info on it:
Another good example of the legacy of Bl. John Newman is the Cardinal Newman Society. May Bl. John Newman intercede to God for us as we strive to spread the Gospel on campus and enlighten minds on the beautiful relationship of faith and reason.
