The original building was located in a former restaurant on the other side of College Avenue. The current Newman Center was dedicated in 1971.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>John Henry Newman (1801-1890), the man after whom this center is named, was born in England. Raised as a member of the Anglican Church, he attended Oxford where he eventually became a tutor, according to the British style of education. He was ordained an Anglican priest and served the religious community at Oxford.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In his 40&#8217;s, Newman began to look more critically at his church and came to the belief that it was not rooted deeply enough in the tradition of the early Church. After a period of deep reflection, prayer, and study, he made his profession of faith as a Roman Catholic, eventually being ordained a priest and raised to the position of Cardinal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The affiliation of his name with Catholic communities at colleges and universities is very appropriate &#8211; not only because of his time at Oxford, but because in later years he was sent to Dublin, Ireland, to establish the Catholic University of Ireland. In addition, his essay, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newmanreader.org\/works\/idea\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8220;The Idea of a University,&#8221;<\/a> won him great acclaim. Furthermore, Newman&#8217;s theological works have prompted many to consider him as an important hand in setting the stage for the renewal of the Church in the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>In this spirit, we invite you into our community at the Newman Center, where opportunities for growing in faith and fellowship abound. There will be opportunities for you to come to a deeper appreciation and a better understanding of Catholicism, especially how to share the love of God with the world. We hope you&#8217;ll join us!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1946, the Newman Center\u00a0 was established for the Catholic students, faculty, staff, administrators and their families at the University of Maine.
