Pilgrimage Following in the Footsteps of Newman - London, Oxford, Birmingham and Rome; October 2025

This October marks the 180th anniversary of the conversion to Catholicism of St. John Henry Newman. Here is an opportunity to mark the occasion with a pilgrimage led by Father Peter Stravinskas, editor of The Catholic Response and president of the Catholic Education Foundation, and Dr. Robert Royal, editor of The Catholic Thing. It runs from October 5th to 19th, beginning in London, where Newman was born, and ending in Rome. During the English leg of the pilgrimage, in addition to London, there will be visits to Littlemore near Oxford, the University Church in Oxford, Maryvale, and the Birmingham Oratory.  

It is planned as a holistic experience that embraces the spiritual, historical, theological, and literary aspects of the great Cardinal’s life and work. To reflect this multifaceted approach, Pontifex University is offering three credits at the Master’s level in either theology or education for an additional fee of $450.

Cost: Double occupancy round-trip from Newark, NJ (EWR): $7,320.
Single occupancy: +$2,300.
