Oratorians

Oratorians are members of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, a Catholic community founded in the 16th century in Rome. The Oratory emphasizes a life of prayer, community, and spiritual growth. Oratorians typically live together, share resources, and engage in pastoral work, such as preaching and education, but do not take formal vows. Their mission includes promoting the spiritual and moral development of individuals and fostering a deeper relationship with God. Today, Oratorian communities can be found in various countries, continuing the legacy of their founder, Philip Neri, who focused on joy, charity, and spiritual renewal.
