The original of this print was done in acrylics on canvas, 18 x 24 inches. Our own bishop, James Conley added his special touch by painting the red hat!. It was auctioned off at our local Sacred Art Show, to benefit the St Gianna Womens Homes. 

As Sue painted, she pondered the poem/prayer composed by Newman, Lead Kindly Light. If you read the poem (scroll down) and study the painting, you may see the connection!

John Henry Newman (1801-1890) stands as a giant in the fields of theology, philosophy, and education. Influencing many academic and spiritual disciplines, Newman's writings and his lifelong search for religious truth continue to inspire scholars throughout the world.

John Henry Newman began his religious career as a 19th-century Fellow of Oriel College and as the Vicar of St. Mary the Virgin Church in Oxford, England. At the age of 44, he converted to Roman Catholicism and founded the first English-speaking Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Birmingham, England. He was made a cardinal of the Catholic Church in 1879. His many scholarly works were a significant force that helped shape religious thought not only in his own time, but also throughout the 20th century.

Patron saint of Universities, and especially "Newman Centers" on campus.
