The Fathers and Brothers are happy to announce the aggregation of Brother Anthony on December 31st at the 4pm Mass. Aggregation is the moment when a brother becomes a member of our Congregation for life. It is a very important moment in his life, the life of our Oratory and our parish. Brother is committing himself to remain here among us as a permanent member of our Congregation for the rest of his life.
Please join us for Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 7pm on Friday to 7am on Saturday on the first Fridays of the month.
