In this special episode Jo Boyce revisits the service that was broadcast live on BBC Radio 4’s Sunday Worship, on the morning of the beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman.
On Sunday 13th October, Blessed John Henry Newman will be canonised and become the first recognised English saint in close to 300 years. So it’s a perfect time to revisit the unforgettable day of his beatification in 2010.
