Fr. John Newns

I was ordained for the service of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia in 1974..

Professional Experience:

• Holy Cross Parish, Philadelphia (1974-1980)
• Most Blessed Sacrament Parish, Philadelphia (1980-1996)
• Saint Ann Parish, Phoenixville (1996 – present)

Educational Philosophy: I find these words from Pope Saint Pius X helpful: “The soul of education is the education of the soul.”  I also find helpful the statement by Archbishop Chaput that the purpose of our schools is to “equip saints for this world and for the next.”
