ST JOHN H. NEWMAN

as we celebrate him being
named a Doctor of the
Church. There are cards
and photographs of both
St John Henry Newman and
Blessed Dominic Barberi at
the shrine; the former can
be used as a petition slip or
taken home as a bookmark.

St John Henry Newman is a wonderful intercessor for
students, especially university students; so, do write
a petition slip for any new or returning students!

On Tuesday the Holy Rosary will be offered at 9:00am
for the canonisation of Blessed Dominic Barberi. The
St John Henry Newman and Blessed Dominic Barberi
chaplet will be offered after Mass and there will be an
opportunity to venerate the relic of Blessed Dominic.
