The Oxford University Newman Society exists to support the faith and life of the Catholic Church in Oxford University. The society is named after Venerable John Henry Newman, Oxford's greatest theologian of modern times. It is based at the University's Catholic Chaplaincy (The Old Palace, Rose Place) and works alongside Oxford's local churches and religious communities. During term time there are regular speaker meetings, as well as a varied programme of religious and social events. In preparing to mark the imminent beatification of Cardinal Newman the society's Patron, Cardinal George Pell, has launched the 'Faith in Oxford' appeal to raise an endowment of £100,000 to secure the society's future.
