In 2015, the worldwide Oratorian family celebrated the 500th anniversary of the birth of Our Holy Father St. Philip Neri. In observing this milestone, we hoped to foster greater awareness and understanding of who St. Philip is and what the Oratory is about. We presented a series of articles exploring the life of St. Philip, the essential characteristics of Oratorian life and spirituality, the history of our community, and the lives of notable Oratorians who have gone before us. We hope you enjoy reading them!
