It is with great joy the IHM Sisters announce the publication of Sister Mary Catherine Blanding's book on St. John Henry Newman. This book has been the work of much prayer and study of the life of Cardinal Newman. It has been Sister's desire to bring to the public the great genius of this newly declared Doctor of the Church. He is truly a Saint for our time and one that everyone can relate to and imitate.
In addition to her book, Sister has been writing reflections each month over a different sermon of St. John Henry Newman. To see those reflections, go to Heart Speaks to Heart
