From 3 PM, November 3, 2019 until Noon, November 5, 2019 the members of the Congregation Oratory took an unprecedented decision to walk away from our daily duties, to go to a retreat place and to spend time together to strengthen the bonds of our community. The event took place at
The Graymoor Spiritual Life Center. We are committed to the community life by our Constitutions and our personal commitment. However, we just felt the need to be together, if for nothing else but to know each other better and to listen to each member desires, inspirations and even complains.
Our community's gathering was blessed and we all felt that we should have such community event every year. The benefits were obvious: we listened to each other with respect, we resolved our conflicts of interest as best as we could, we projected a future of more harmonious and loving relationships. All this being result not only of talks but above all of common prayer.
