Easter Season at the Oratory
The Novena to St. Philip Neri begins May 17 and continues to May 26th his Feast Day. Join us in praying the novena.
The Easter Triduum culminated in the lighting of the new fire. Fr. Joel Warden, c.o., Pastor of the Oratory Parish presided at the liturgy, assisted by the other priests and brother of the Oratory, lay ministers, the Oratory Choir and hundreds of the faithful.

Gathered in the darkness of the tomb, we lit the Easter fire on Duffield Street in front of the Oratory Church. This fire, which cast away the darkness of Holy Saturday night, reminds us of how the love of the Risen Jesus drives from believers the darkness of evil, hatred and sin.
Newman Hall Liturgy
Fr. Michael snapped a few pictures as he shepherded the crowds in Newman Hall, where, assisted by Carla Denali as minister of ceremonies, Fr. Anthony Andreassi, c.o. presided at a packed Mass. For the past several years, the over-filled church has required the addition of a Mass in Newman Hall. Over 160 of our friends and parishioner joined us for this beautiful celebration. Music was supported by keyboards, cello, oboe and violin.
