Welcome to the CTS Lent Retreat with Newman, an online retreat designed to help you to go deeper into the Gospels of Lent through the preaching of St John Henry Newman.

Your guide on this retreat will be Fr George Bowen, a priest of Newman's religious community, the Oratorians, based at The Brompton Oratory, London.

Each week, Fr George will guide you through the gospels of Lent, drawing on pieces of art that depict the gospel and St John Henry Newman's homilies on these gospels.
