Dear Friends,

- Public Masses will be held but the obligation to attend has been lifted. Please use discretion and good judgement. Masses will be brief and simplified format. We will continue to have weekend and daily Masses at this time.
The following are cancelled until further notice:- Oratory Sung Vespers
- All Religious Education and youth related programs are suspended until further notice. We will offer online tools for families to access through Trello.
- Oratory Small Groups and all Adult programs. Small group members are encouraged to continue to read and pray through the Charism booklet personally.
Please continue to pray for one another and reach out to those who may be alone or isolated by phone and email. The Fathers and Brothers of the Oratory are praying for you as we trust in the Lord during this time. Should you need us in any way, please do not hesitate to call on us.

Prayer to Our Lady of the Oratory
Holy Mary, Mother of God we turn to you in this time of uncertainty. Help us to walk in trust and security as we care for one another. Keep the bonds of charity strong among us when we are apart. Watch over our communities and families with your maternal care. May health and wellbeing surround the Oratory parishes and all people. Teach us to say yes to God, yes to love in our hearts, yes to the Incarnate Word in our flesh. To affirm in our minds only what is true, good and beautiful. And with our whole strengthen teach us to live as true disciples of Christ. Our Lady of the Oratory intercede for us to God that the transforming grace we need may bring us peace and joy.
Amen
