The members of the New York Oratory of St. Philip Neri were blessed to share a retreat together in Long Beach Island, New Jersey during the first week of Summer 2020. Through the generosity of a St. Paul and St. Ann parishioner, the Oratorians were provided with accommodations in this peaceful and picturesque seaside town. All Oratorians shared in the retreat, being joined for the first time by Steve Neier, in the first probation (formation) with the New York Oratory since May 2020.
