A centre for Faith and Reason named after Blessed John Henry Newman is to be opened in Dublin. The centre is an initiative of Notre Dame University in the US state of Illinois.
Archbishop Diarmuid Martin of Dublin said the new centre, at University College in St Stephen’s Green, would open later this year.
Archbishop Martin said: “I see the establishment of the Notre Dame-Newman Centre for Faith and Reason as an opportunity for University College to return to its original vocation as a focal point for reflection on faith and reason. Dublin can take a new lead in today’s changed social context in something which is part of the rich heritage of Newman’s presence in Dublin.”
