Biography

Blessed Hugh More, born in Grantham, Lincolnshire, England, was an eminent figure in the Catholic Church during a tumultuous period in English history. Educated at the prestigious Oxford University and later at Gray’s Inn, More initially followed the path of an Anglican clergyman. However, he underwent a profound conversion to Catholicism, which led him to dedicate his life to the service of God and his fellow believers.
