He preached on street corners and in marketplaces! His magnetic personality attracted attention, at first, and then scores of converts. His confessor advised him to start a lay confraternity to minister to pilgrims and to spread the Forty Hours devotion. With the encouragement of his confessor, he was also or- dained a priest in 1551. St. Philip Neri had a remarkable charism. Not only did he attract converts, but other priests to aid him in his increasingly popular ministry. Some of these priests would be part of a community of priests who would be known as “Oratorians.” St. Philip founded the Oratorians in 1564. They were formally ap- proved in 1575 by Pope St. Gregory XIII. The pope gave the new group a rundown Church, Santa Maria in Vallicella. It was later demolished. A new St. Philip Neri Church, known as the Chiesa Nuova, was built and became the center of the Oratorian ministry. Heaven has been described as a banquet.
