Blessed John Henry Newman
 John Henry Newman, D.D., C.O. (21 February 1801 – 11 August 1890) was an important figure in the religious history of England in the 19th century.
Originally an evangelical Oxford academic and priest in the Church of England, Newman was a leader in the Oxford Movement. This influential grouping of Anglicans wished to return the Church of England to many Catholic beliefs and forms of worship.
In 1845 Newman left the Church of England and was received into the Roman Catholic Church, where he was eventually granted the rank of cardinal by Pope Leo XIII. He was instrumental in the founding of the Catholic University of Ireland, which evolved into University College, Dublin, and is today the largest university in Ireland.
Newman was also a literary figure of note: his major writings including his autobiography Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1865–66), the Grammar of Assent (1870), and the poem The Dream of Gerontius (1865), which was set to music in 1900 by Edward Elgar as an oratorio. He wrote the popular hymns "Lead, Kindly Light" and "Praise to the Holiest in the Height".
Newman's beatification was officially proclaimed by Pope Benedict XVI on September 19, 2010, during his visit to the United Kingdom.
