The Oratory is a way of life . . .
before it is any kind of work!
It means being committed to learning how to pray.
It means inviting everyone to pray with us.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Chicago Oratory
is to speak to the heart by
being faithful to the vision of Saint Philip Neri.

We strive to accomplish this by:

• LIVING together as a family, bound by the love of friendship.

• PRAYING together and reflecting on the Scriptures as an essential aspect of our community life.

• INVITING the laity to pray with us regularly and developing shared ministry with them.

• CONTRIBUTING to the local church according to our gifts
