Oxford

We left the hustle and bustle of London and have arrived in the university town of Oxford. It has been a nice change pace so far. We took a walking tour of the town, specifically focusing on the sites associated with Bl. John Henry Newman. It was great to reflect on the fact that a future saint of the church walked down the very same cobblestone roads that we walked on and saw the same sites of the town that we saw today. The first picture is of a bust of Cardinal Newman at Trinity College where he did his undergraduate work. The next picture is that of the chapel at Trinity where Newman would have worshipped as an Anglican. The last picture is that of St. Mary's, where Newman was assigned to when he was an Anglican priest.
