We are a Society
of Apostolic Life dedicated
to the New Evangelization.
Christ, and the New Life He offers, is the primary and most profound factor of change and transformation in every person and his or her environment. This is our first and fundamental conviction.
Apostolate
“We model our life on Jesus and His public life. We seek conform ourselves to Him through imitating His itinerancy, His missionary zeal, and His merciful love, so that the very essence of His ministry may touch all those we encounter."
Life In Common
“The community of the Twelve, gathered in unity for the love of Christ, is the model of our common life.”

“The community of the Twelve, gathered in unity for the love of Christ, is the model of our common life.”
Spiritual Life
“Jesus in dialogue with the Father is the master of our prayer. He teaches us, as He taught the Apostles, to listen to the Father and respond to Him. Through grace, we experience our own prayer as a participation in the prayer of Christ
For this reason, we live in the continual and loving presence of God, offering our works to Him and utilizing for our own sanctification those same means which we propose for others.
To foster this, we live in a spirit of recollection and interior silence.”
Study
"Our own specific mission demands that we are well-formed and able to form others, capable of comprehending what goes on in people’s lives and offering an opportune response.”

Ascetic Life
“We fast on bread and water, according to the school of our Blessed Mother. This practice “attracts grace, and repairs and tempers the spirit” (Constitutions, 69). Prayer and fasting, when practiced with a spirit of humility, purify the heart and change the course of events. When a community prays and fasts with faith, things happen, as seen in Scripture: “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit spoke.” (Acts 13:2)

An initiative of the Saint John Society
The Newman Academy is a space for Christian thought inspired by the teachings of Cardinal Newman, developed by the Saint John Society in collaboration with the Friends of Newman Association in Argentina.
Truth has been accepted in the world not because of its character as a system, not because of books, not because of argumentation, not because of the temporal power that supported it, but because of the personal influence of those who testified, being both teachers and models of it.
