During Pontifical Mass earlier this morning in St Peter’s Square at the Vatican, Pope Francis canonised Cardinal John Henry Newman. Many Oratorian fathers and brothers from Oratories around the world witnessed St John Henry Newman, founder of the Oratorian movement in the UK, being raised to the altars. Two members of the Commandery of Wales, Bro Ambrose MMLJ and Fr Alexander MMLJ, were present to represent both the Cardiff Oratory and our Commandery.
