A Day in the Life of an Oratorian Novice
For anyone wondering what this Oratory thing is all about this video made by the novices of the Brisbane Oratory in Formation may be of interest!
The Oratory has been a part of my life since I was a student in Birmingham and London in the 1970s. The Oratory is unique in that is seems to act as a magnet for so many seeking the divine through beautiful music and Liturgy. Young people in particular are drawn to it and the order seems to thrive in difficult and hostile conditions..(wonderful to witness large numbers of young adults and children singing the 'Credo' at High mass at Oxford oratory) I hope that one day the order will be invited into H&N. Deo volente. Paul Dewhurst.
