History
The Newman
Association of Vancouver began as the Newman Alumni of Vancouver
in 1940 when Fr. Francis Hill C.Ss.R., of Our Lady of Perpetual Help
Parish, brought a small group of university graduates together. The
Alumni provided an opportunity for Catholic graduates to help each
other in their faith.
In 1990 the 50th Jubilee was marked by a speaker series on John
Henry, Cardinal Newman. A commemorative stained glass window was
installed in St. Mark's College, and a history of the association,
Faith and Friendship, was published. The Jubilee culminated
in a joyous celebration weekend of social, intellectual and
spiritual events. The concept of The Newman Christian Culture Series
of the sixties resulted in our Carr Lecture Series being presented
at Robson Square, downtown Vancouver, and at UBC.
