On Sunday 13 October in Rome, Blessed John Henry Newman will become the first English saint to be canonised since 1970, and the first person who lived after the 17th Century to be made a saint. To celebrate this historic event, Don Bosco Publications has produced a new Pocketbook (out now!) and a prayer card.

The commemorative prayer card is available for the price of postage (UK 60p). The Pocketbook costs £1.00 plus p&p, and can be ordered from our online bookshop: follow the link below. (for overseas orders, contact Don Bosco Publications (see below).

If you would like a prayer card, please contact Sarah or Dominic on publications@salesians.org.uk, or phone 01204 308811.

The Newman Canonisation website has a novena which will be prayed from 4 - 12 October, and parishes, schools and individuals are being encouraged to take part. Find out more and download the novena pack on their website.
