PLENARY INDULGENCE FOR THE JUBILEE YEAR OF ST PHILIP NERI In celebration of the 500th anniversary of the birth of our Holy Father St Philip Neri (21st July 1515), Pope Francis has granted a Jubilee Year with an attached Plenary Indulgence, subject to the usual conditions (sacramental Confession, Holy Communion, and prayer for the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff). During the Jubilee Year, which runs from 25th May 2015 to 26 May 2016, the indulgence can be gained every day in our church (and in any other church of a canonically established Congregation of the Oratory). To gain the indulgence, a pilgrimage must be made, or one should take part in a service or devotion in honour of St Philip, concluding by saying the Our Father and Creed and prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Philip. The indulgence may be applied to the faithful departed.

PROCLAIM ’15 Cardinal , along with the Bishops of England and Wales, invites every parish to join a national network of prayer on Saturday 11th July to intercede for the work of evangelisation. The gathering will coincide with the National Catholic Evangelisation Conference Proclaim ’15 in Birmingham, bringing together over 800 people from across our countries. Please join the national network of prayer. At the Oratory, the Vigil Mass on 11th July at 6pm will be celebrated for this intention. Moreover, the weekly prayers of the Confraternity of the Precious Blood in the Seven Dolours Chapel, which follow the Vigil Mass, will be offered especially for the work of evangelisation.
