Today is the feast day of St. John Henry Newman, the first time we celebrate it since he was named a Doctor of the Church. His feast day is, uniquely, not the date of his death but instead, the date he was received into the Catholic Church. John Henry Newman was born in London in 1801 and died in Birmingham in 1890.  Learn more about him and about the Doctors of the Church by reading one of the articles below:
