Spirituality and Mission

Spirituality

1. In the Oratorian tradition, we are not a community of laws but of love.
2. Becoming citizens of the world, we discovered that friendship is a universal form of human relationship.
3. The Lord revealed to us his own friendship. Through St. Philip Neri we found goodness at the heart of friendship
4. We do not have religious vows. Our priest is a diocesan priest.
5. We model our lives on that of the first disciples of Jesus: we live a simple and joyful life, sharing what we have with one another and supporting each other's work.
