# A message from our Bishop

   17 July 2019

***To all Schools in the Diocese of Lancaster.***

I wish to share the joyful news that Blessed John Henry Newman is to be canonised on Sunday, 13 October in Rome.

The plans for October in Rome and afterwards back in the UK are well advanced.

I encourage you to visit, follow and generally promote this dedicated website, [www.newmancanonisation.com](http://event.squarespace-mail.com/?a=18712&m=5d1882791fbadb0001d7cfb4&n=5d19c2fba9f6c6000111cc3e&s=1630000016d1150&u=http%3a%2f%2fevent.squarespace-mail.com%2f%3fa%3d18712%26m%3d5d12a6b615523e0001759949%26n%3d5d12ff634be7a60001100449%26s%3d163000000c91147%26u%3dhttp%253a%252f%252fwww.newmancanonisation.com%252f%26t%3d%26e%3djg.bowen%2540mac.com%26h%3d59ecc331&t=&e=bishop%40lancasterrcdiocese.org.uk&h=caaf6b6d)
