Newman Circle focuses on fellowship, food and the future

St John Henry Newman was very much in favour of an “educated laity”. He also enjoyed many strong friendships with women, as well as men.

So, while the Newman Association was formed “to promote open discussion and greater understanding in today’s Church”, it also fosters friendships.

From the dioceses on either side of the River Tees, members of the Cleveland Newman Circle recently gathered to celebrate their fellowship and enjoy a meal together, with raffle prizes to follow.

They also confirmed their desire to build up activities again after Covid. In future months they will focus on the Camino de Santiago (March) and Dorothy Day (April). For further information, email p.egerton123@gmail.com.
