It is a Voluntary-Aided one-form entry school in the trusteeship of the Fathers of the London Oratory of St. Philip Neri. The school is conducted by its Governing Body as part of the Catholic Church in accordance with its trust deed and instrument of government, and seeks at all times to be a witness to Jesus Christ. The Governing Body has responsibility for admissions to this school and intends to admit 30 pupils (The Published Admissions Number/PAN) to the reception class in the school year which begins in September 2014. Applications are invited for September 2014 from families whose child was born between 1 September 2009 and 31 August 2010.

  • The General Instruction of the Roman Missal Introduction
    THE GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROmAN mISSAL INTRODUCTION 1. As christ the Lord was about to celebrate with the disciples the paschal supper in which he insti- tuted the Sacrifice of hisb ody and blood, he commanded that a large, furnished upper room be prepared (Lk 22:12). indeed, the church has always judged that this command also applied to herself whenever she decided about things related to the disposition of people’s minds, and of places, rites and texts for the celebration of the Most holy eucharist. the present norms, too, prescribed in keeping with the will of the Second vatican council, together with the new Missal with which the church of the roman rite will henceforth celebrate the Mass, are again a demonstration of this same solicitude of the church, of her faith and her unaltered love for the supreme mystery of the eucharist, and also attest to her continu- ous and consistent tradition, even though certain new elements have been introduced. Testimony of an Unaltered Faith 2. The sacrificial nature of the Mass, solemnly defended by thec ouncil of trent, because it accords with the universal tradition of the church,1 was once more stated by the Second vatican council, which pronounced these clear words about the Mass: “at the Last Supper, our Savior instituted the eucharistic Sacrifice of his body and blood, by which the Sacrifice of his cross is perpetuated until he comes again; and till then he entrusts the memorial of his Death and resurrection to his beloved spouse, the church.”2 What is taught in this way by the council is consistently expressed in the formulas of the Mass.

  • Solemnity of Saint Philip Neri, Founder and Patron of the Oratory Oxford Oratory Oxford, England 26 May 2015
    SOLEMNITY OF SAINT PHILIP NERI, FOUNDER AND PATRON OF THE ORATORY OXFORD ORATORY OXFORD, ENGLAND 26 MAY 2015 Wis 7, 7-14 Phil 4, 4-9 Jn 15, 1-8 SERMON Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever. Amen. It is the source of deepest joy for me to offer the Holy Mass on the Solemnity of Saint Philip Neri, Founder and Patron of the Oratory, in this fifth centenary of his birth, at the Oxford Oratory. I express my deepest gratitude to the Very Reverend Father Daniel Seward, Provost and Parish Priest, for the invitation to celebrate the Pontifical Mass for the Solemnity, and I thank all of the Fathers and Brothers of the Oratory for their warm and generous hospitality. I thank God for the extraordinary occasion to implore, through the intercession of Our Lady and Saint Philip, His abundant blessings upon the Oxford Oratory, upon its most important life and work. In a particular way, I ask God to bless the University of Oxford, renowned center of learning for many centuries, and to make it generously receptive to the priestly ministry offered here after the example and under the protection of Saint Philip Neri. I am grateful for the presence of the Knights and Dames of Malta, for whom I am honored to be the Cardinal Patron. May my visit be for them a confirmation in the twofold mission of our Order, the defense of the faith and the care of the poor, in Oxford. Through the Parable of the Vine and the Branches, our Lord expressed the reality of our communion with Him in the Church from the moment of our baptism.
