Upcoming Events and Special Announcements

Join the Oratory for our first ever major fundraiser: a Red-Carpet Premiere of a new short movie called "A Witness to Joy: an Inside Look at the Oratory" on August 8 at 5:30pm.

The night will be hosted by our very own Siobhan Fallon Hogan--one of our parishioners who has starred in movies like Forest Gump, Men in Black, Holes and so much more. She has also produced two wonderful independent films and a podcast called Catholics and Cappuccino for EWTN. 

As you know, the Oratory has really grown since our beginning. And now, we’ve well outgrown our house. There are now 8 of us living in a house that was built for 2 priests and a housekeeper. So, if we want to make sure that the Oratory continues to grow for the future, we need to build a major addition onto the house. There will be opportunities this night to donate for this wonderful project.

There are only 250 spots, so please purchase your tickets soon. The night is for those 18 years and older.
