He was a leader of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Movement" class="external text" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_Movement" rel="nofollow">Oxford Movement</a> in the Church of England, which attempted to return the Church of England to its Catholic roots. Pope Leo XIII rewarded him with a cardinal's red hat, as "Cardinal Deacon of St George" in 1879 although he was not a bishop. </p><p>He was <b>born</b> 21 Feb 1801<sup id="_ref-bap_0" class="reference"><a href="#_note-bap" title="">[1]</a></sup>. His parents were John & Jemima Newman<sup id="_ref-bap_1" class="reference"><a href="#_note-bap" title="">[1]</a></sup>. He was <b>baptised</b> on 9 Apr 1801, St Benet Fink, London, England<sup id="_ref-bap_2" class="reference"><a href="#_note-bap" title="">[1]</a></sup> </p><p>"In 1845 Newman, joined by some but not all of his followers, officially left the Church of England and his teaching post at Oxford University and was received into the Catholic Church. He was quickly ordained as a priest and continued as an influential religious leader, based in Birmingham. In 1879, he was created a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in recognition of his services to the cause of the Catholic Church in England."<sup id="_ref-0" class="reference"><a href="#_note-0" title="">[2]</a></sup> </p><p>He <b>died</b> on 11 Aug 1890 at Birmingham at age 89, and was buried at Rednal, the rest house of the Oratory, Edgbaston, Warwickshire, England<sup id="_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#_note-1" title="">[3]</a></sup> At his request, he was buried with his great friend and fellow convert <a href="/wiki/St_John-4478" title="St John-4478">Father Ambrose St John</a>. </p><p>In 1991, Pope John Paul II declared him 'Venerable'. In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI beatified him in Cofton Park, Birmingham. Pope Francis canonized him a saint on September 19, 2019. Saint John Henry Newman's feast day is October 9th. </p><p>A tomb of Italian green marble was constructed for placement in the Church of the Birmingham Oratory in preparation for his expected beatification and canonization. The Catholic Church obtained dispensation from the Ministry of Justice, and his grave was opened in October 2008, but due to burial in a wooden coffin laid in very damp ground, no remains were found. </p> <a name="Sources"></a><h2> <span class="mw-headline"> Sources </span></h2> <ol class="references"><li id="_note-bap">↑ <sup><a href="#_ref-bap_0" title="">1.0</a></sup> <sup><a href="#_ref-bap_1" title="">1.1</a></sup> <sup><a href="#_ref-bap_2" title="">1.2</a></sup> "England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975," database, FamilySearch (<a href="https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NYNP-QLT" class="external free" title="https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NYNP-QLT" rel="nofollow">https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NYNP-QLT</a> : 6 December 2014, John Henry Newman, 21 Feb 1801); citing ST BENET FINK,LONDON,LONDON,ENGLAND, index based upon data collected by the Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City; FHL microfilm 374,436.<br/> John Henry Newman <br/> Gender Male <br/> Christening Date 09 Apr 1801 <br/> Christening Date (Original) 09 APR 1801 <br/> Christening Place ST BENET FINK, LONDON, LONDON, ENGLAND <br/> Birth Date 21 Feb 1801 <br/> Father's Name John Newman <br/> Mother's Name Jemima </li> <li id="_note-0"><a href="#_ref-0" title="">↑</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_Newman" class="external free" title="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_Newman" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Henry_Newman</a></li> <li id="_note-1"><a href="#_ref-1" title="">↑</a> National Probate Calendar, John Henry Newman, probate date 27 Feb 1891, principal registry.</li></ol> <ul><li>Michael J.
